Right triangles have 3 sides and can be named according to an angle other than the 90 degree one. They are named opposite, adajacent, and hypotenese.
Then use SOHCAHTOA.
SOH means sin equals opposite/hypotunse.
CAH means cosine equals adjacent/hypotnuse.
TOA means tagent equals opposite/adjacent.
Hard to explain without a diagram. :)
Answer: 2 inches, 3 inches, or 3.125 and 2.083
Explanations:
The simplest way is to take 20% of the 2.5 inches and go that much above & below 2.5 inches.
2.5 x 20% = 2.5 x 0.20 = 0.5
So 2.5 - 0.5 = 2 inches was predicted
And 2.5 + 0.5 = 3 inches was predicted.
The more complicated way is to see number + 20% of that number = 2.5, and what number - 20% = 2.5.
Which solution sounds more like what you’re doing in class right now?
If it’s the more complicated way:
0.8x = 2.5 (80% of the predicted rain value equals 2.5)
x = 3.125 inches was predicted
1.2x = 2.5 (120% of the predicted rain value equals 2.5)
x = 2.083 inches was predicted
Sorry, this is probably confusing. Let me know what questions you have.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use SOH CAH TOA to recall how the trig functions fit on a triangle
SOH: Sin(Ф)= Opp / Hyp
CAH: Cos(Ф)= Adj / Hyp
TOA: Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj
5)
Adj = 14
Hyp = 26
∠X
so use
CAH
Cos(X) = 14/26
X = arcCos(14/26)
X = 57.421°
X = 57.4 ° ( rounded to nearest 10th )
6)
∠X
Hyp = 46
Opp = 12
use SOH
Sin(x) = 12/46
X = arcSin(12/46)
X = 15.121°
X = 15.1 ° ( rounded to nearest 10th )
7)
∠X
Adj = 29
Opp = 24
use TOA
Tan(x) = 29 / 24
X = arcTan( 29 /24)
X = 50.389
X = 50.4 ° ( rounded to nearest 10th )
8)
∠X
Adj = 22
Opp = 6
use TOA agian
Tan(x) = 6 / 22
X = arcTan(6/22)
X = 5.194
X = 5.2 ° ( rounded to the nearest 10th )
