SOH CAH TOA
This is the acronym for all trigonometric ratios.
Sin. = opposite/hypotenuse
Cos. = adjacent/ hypotenuse
Tan. = opposite/ adjacent.
In this picture the OPPOSITE leg and the HYPOTENUSE is given to us. With this information we can apply the "TOA" ratio.
Sin. R = opposite/hypotenuse
Sin. R = 3/4 or 0.75
Use a calculator or table to find 0.75 in the sin. column.
The final answer should be 49.
Sin. 49 = 0.7547
B) 2.5 hours , because 8 mph is 1 hour and the another 8mph is 1 hour 8+8mph =16mph 1+1hr=2hr half of 8 is 4mph is .5hr so therefore 8+8+4=20mph 1+1+ 30mins= 2.5hr
A) the Johnson family will travel 300 miles in 5 hours
Assuming 5, represents the amount of hours & 300 representing miles
m∠P = 144°
Solution:
PQRS is a parallelogram.
m∠P = 12a°, m∠Q = (4a - 12)° and m∠S = 3a°
<em>In parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent.</em>
m∠Q = m∠S
4a° - 12° = 3a°
Add 12° on both sides.
4a° - 12° + 12° = 3a° + 12°
4a° = 3a° + 12°
Subtract 3a° on both sides.
4a° - 3a° = 3a° + 12° - 3a°
a° = 12°
<u>To find the measure of angle P:</u>
m∠P = 12a°
= 12(12°)
m∠P = 144°
Use the sine law: sinB/b = sinA/a
SinB = b*sinA/a
sinB = 3*sin120° /8
∠ B = 18.94° ≈ 19°
