Trigonometric functions aren't to do with triangles specifically, they are to do with angles.
So no, they aren't only for right angled triangles.
For example, the formula (1/2)ab * sin(c) calculates the area of a triangle, and will work on isosceles and scalene triangles.
The reason they have to be simplified is that you cannot add radical unless the number under the radical is the same on all of them.
For example:
If you add √8 + √32 without simplifying, the best you could do is an estimate. But if you're required to put your answer in standard radical form this would be an issue.
So, you would have to simplify to combine:
√4√2 + √16√2
2√2 + 4√2
6√2

Answer: 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Follow PEMDAS. Parentheses: 16+a, which is 18. There are no exponents so move on to multiplication. 6b. B is equal to 3, and 6x3 is 18. Next, division. 18/3 is 6. Now do addition so add together 18+6 which is 24.

The answer is r=-3. You use the distributive property which is basically multiplying -8 with all the numbers inside the parenthesis. So -8 x r and -8 x -2. This results to -8r+16=40 (Two negative numbers multiplied together will form a positive number). We use inverse operations to subtract 16 from both sides. 16-16 is 0 and 40-16 is 24. So we are left with -8r=24. We want to be left with only r, so we once again use inverse operations to divide -8 from both sides. -8/-8 is 1, and 24/-8 is -3. So we end up with r=-3.
