So I'm in an online class of geometry and one of the units is trig. but no matter how long i keep learning or trying to learn th

e notes and lesson i cant figure what it means. Or how to solve the triangle with anything other than Pythagorean's theorem which doesn't solve it or even help. And i try to look for a simpiler way to look at it but i cant find one.

Answer and explanation:

There are six main trigonometric ratios, namely: sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, cotangent.

Those ratios relate two sides of a right triangle and one angle.

Assume the following features and measures of a right triangle ABC

  • right angle: B, measure β
  • hypotenuse (opposite to angle B): length b

  • angle C: measure γ
  • vertical leg (opposite to angle C): length c

  • horizontal leg (opposite to angle A): length a
  • angle A: measure α

Then, the trigonometric ratios are:

  • sine (α) = opposite leg / hypotenuse = a / b
  • cosine (α) = adjacent leg / hypotenuse = c / b
  • tangent (α) = opposite leg / adjacent leg = a / c

  • cosecant (α) = 1 / sine (α) = b / a
  • secant (α) = 1 / cosine (α) = b / c
  • cotangent (α) = 1 / tangent (α) = c / b

Then, if you know one angle (other than the right one) of a right triangle, and any of the sides you can determine any of the other sides.

For instance, assume an angle to be 30º, and the lenght of the hypotenuse to measure 5 units.

  • sine (30º) = opposite leg / 5 ⇒ opposite leg = 5 × sine (30º) = 2.5
  • cosine (30º) = adjacent leg / 5 ⇒ adjacent leg = 5 × cosine (30º) = 4.3

Thus, you have solved for the two unknown sides of the triangle. The three sides are 2.5, 4.3, and 5.

Does anyone know how to do this

Answer :Plotting the points into the coordinate plane gives us an observation that this quadrilateral with vertices d(0,0), i(5,5) n(8,4) g(7,1) is a KITE, as shown in figure a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the quadrilateral with vertices

d(0,0)

i(5,5)

n(8,4)

g(7,1)

Plotting the points into the coordinate plane gives us an observation that this quadrilateral with vertices d(0,0), i(5,5) n(8,4) g(7,1) is a KITE, as shown in figure a.

From the figure a, it is clear that the quadrilateral has

Two pairs of sides

Each pair having two equal-length sides which are adjacent

The angles being equal where the two pairs meet

Diagonals as shown in dashed lines cross at right angles,  and one of the diagonals does bisect the other - cuts equally in half

Please check the attached figure a.

If y = -12 when x = 9, find u when x = -4
True [87]

Answer:

y should equal -25 if i did the math right

Step-by-step explanation:

-12 and 9 have a difference of -21 so if i subtract -21 from -4 it would equal -25.. hope this helps!!

1. Are the polygons similar?
jeyben [28]

The polygons are similar.

This is because dividing the corresponding sides forms the same ratio, as shown by the three equations below

35/28 = 1.25

25/20 = 1.25

(15.5)/(12.4) = 1.25

So the larger figure on the right has side lengths that are 1.25 times larger compared to the corresponding sides of the figure on the left.

You'll need to flip the figure on the left so that the side labeled "20" is along the top, and the "28" is along the bottom.

After this flip happens, also note that the angle arc markings match up. The bottom pairs of angles of each figure are shown with a single arc, while the top angles are shown as double arcs. This helps visually show which angles pair up and are congruent to one another.

Because we have similar proportions as discussed earlier, and congruent pairs of angles like this, this shows the two figures are similar quadrilaterals. The one on the right is simply an enlarged scaled up copy of the figure on the left.
