Answer:
In order to solve a right triangle, you must first figure out which angle is the right angle. Knowing the right angle will also tell you which side is the hypotenuse, since the hypotenuse will always stand opposite the right angle. In this text, for the sake of consistency, in all triangles we will designate angle C as the right angle, and side c and the hypotenuse. To finish solving a right triangle, you then must either know the lengths of two sides, or the length of one side and the measure of one acute angle. Given either of these two situations, a triangle can be solved. Any further information about a triangle may be helpful, but it is not necessary.There are four basic techniques to use in solving triangles.Using the Pythagorean Theorem, once two sides are known, the third side can be calculated.Using the fact that the acute angles of a right triangle are complementary, once one acute angle is known, the other can be calculated.Using the definitions of the trigonometric functions, any two parts of a triangle can be related in an equation to equal a third part.Using the definitions of the inverse trigonometric functions, any two sides of a triangle can be related in an equation to equal the inverse function of an unknown acute angle
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
AB = 16 Units
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given figure, CD is the diameter and AB is the chord of the circle.
Since, diameter of the circle bisects the chord at right angle.
Therefore, AE = 1/2 AB
Or AB = 2AE...(1)
Let the center of the circle be given by O. Join OA.
OA = OD = 10 (Radii of same circle)
Triangle OAE is right triangle.
Now, by Pythagoras theorem:
Answer:
b=8.5cm
Step-by-step explanation:
tanx (this represents tan theta, it's just easier to type) is equal to 0.6 and since the tanx ratio is opp/adj, we know that opp/adj = 0.6
To find what b is (adjacent as it is adjacent to the angle being used and it is not the hypotenuse), we just have to rearrange.
0.6=5.1/adj
to solve for adj, we can switch 0.6 and adj. (This works because to get adj by itself on one side you would multiply it to the other side and then divide 0.6 from both sides --> simple algebra)
so then you have
adj=5.1/0.6
adj=8.5cm
(if you want to check your solution you can use pythagoeran theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2) and sub everything in and make sure all the numbers equal the right thing!
