When i am solving for the sides of a right triangle when will i use trigonometric functions

Mathematics

AnnZ [28]3 years ago

Answer:

The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios. We need to use trigonometric functions to find them when we don't have any angle other than 90 degree shown.

Three common trigonometric ratios are the sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan). These are defined for acute angle.

However when we have one angle given with the 90 degree we can deduct without trigonometry but we would use all angles to find the hypotenuse or all angles to find the side of a right angle.

Alternatively, we cna do this with one given angle but if we have one, we might as well work out the other one without trigonometry and do a division with Sin = 25 (sin 35) sin 90  / sin 55

is one example when given the base 25ft that would find the hypotenuse or the length of elevation for buildings looking down or zip-wire questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

       A

       |  \

       l     \

4cm|        \ 5cm

       |          \

       |            \

   B | -  -  -  -  \ C      

          3cm

Suppose we wanted to find sin( A) in△ABC    

(The height of the wall in elevation questions would be used above the base shown 3cm at the start) Sin = 3 (sin 35)° sin 90°  / sin 55° to find the height side (4).

Sine is defined as the ratio of the opposite to the hypotenuse

sin(A) =  hypotenuse          ​= AB/BC        = 3/5

             / opposite

Answer:

The measure of angle DPA is 39°

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the value of x  we know that  arc AB+arc BC+arc CD+arc DA=360°

substitute the values

(5x+10)°+(x+1)°+3x°+(3x+25)°=360°

Solve for x

(12x+36)°=360°

12x=360°-36°

x=324°/12=27°

step 2  Find the measure of angle DPA

we know that  The measurement of the external angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

m∠DPA=(1/2)[arc DA-arc BC]

arc DA=3(27)+25=106°

arc BC=27+1=28°

substitute the values

m∠DPA=(1/2)[106°-28°]=39°

Find the value of the unknown number in the proportion 17/80=p/100
rjkz [21]
17/80 = p/100

p = 17/80 * 100

p = 0.2125 * 100

p = 21.25

Please help with this question!! I need serious help!!

Answer:

<h2>The circumference is multipled by 4.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a circle"

A=\pi r^2

The formula of a circumference of a circle:

C=2\pi r

The area multipled by 16:

16A=16\pi r^2\\\\16A=\pi(4^2r^2)\\\\16A=\pi(4r)^2

The radius has increased fourfold, therefore:

C'=2\pi(4r)=4(2\pi r)=4C

The circumference is multipled by 4.

You can calculate the area and check the circumference:

r=11.6\ in\\\\A=\pi(11.6)^2=132.56\pi\\\\16A=(16)(134.56\pi)=2152.96\pi\ in^2

Calculate the radius:

\pi r^2=2152.96\pi             <em>divide both sides by π</em>

r^2=2152.96\to r=\sqrt{2152.96}\\\\r=46.4\ in

Calculate the circumference of both circles:

r=11.6\ in\\\\C=2\pi(11.6)=23.2\pi\ in

r=46.4\ in\\\\C'=2\pi(46.4)=92.8\pi\ in

\dfrac{C'}{C}=\dfrac{92.8\pi}{23.2\pi}=4\to C'=4C

4. Represent the ordered pairs in the mapping diagram as a set of ordered pairs and as a table.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️As a set of order pairs, the mapping can be represented as (x, y), where x = input and y = output.

Thus:

{(1, 6), (2, 6), (3, 6), (4, 8)}

✔️As a table we have input as x, and y as output, such as:

x | y

1 | 6

2 | 6

3 | 6

4 | 8
