Topic: Trigonometric Functions

You should be familiar with the concept of trigonometric functions because this topic involves degrees of traingles with the lenght of their sides, as you can see in the image, you need to remember which trigonometric function involves both sides (not hypotenuse) of a triangle, let's review

O= opposite, A = adjacent, H = Hypotenuse, α = 65°

sen (α) = \frac{O}{H}

cos(α) = \frac{A}{H}

tan(α) = \frac{O}{A}

guess which of them works? yeah its tan(α), so we have that

tan(65°) = \frac{h}{60 ft}

findig h in the previous equation we have that

60 ft * tan(65°) = h

computing in a calculator it means that the height (h) of the tower is

h = 128. 67 ft

Does this triangle have a hypotenuse about 39 feet long
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

hypotenuse is about 33 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

a= 30

b=14

30^2+14^2= 1096 =c^2

\sqrt{1096}=c

33.1=c

hypotenuse is about 33 ft long
