Hi there!

<u>What we need to know:</u>

The three main trigonometric ratios are sine, cosine and tangent:

\displaystyle sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}     \displaystyle cos\theta=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}    \displaystyle tan\theta=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

"Opposite" refers to the side opposite the angle that is not the hypotenuse.

"Hypotenuse" refers to the side opposite the right angle of a right triangle.

"Adjacent" refers to the side next to the angle that is not the hypotenuse.

"θ" is read as "theta". It just represents the angle.

Keep in mind that these three ratios only apply to right triangles.

You can use the mnemonic "soh-cah-toa" to help you remember these ratios.

<u>First question</u>

For the first question, we're given the angle with a measure of 56 degrees and the length of the <em>hypotenuse</em>. We must calculate <em>a</em>, which represents the side <em>adjacent </em>to the given angle.

Given the hypotenuse and the adjacent side, we know that we must use the cosine ratio:

\displaystyle cos\theta=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

Plug in the given information:

\displaystyle cos56=\frac{a}{13}

Isolate <em>a</em> by multiplying both sides by 13:

13\displaystyle cos56=a

Solve using a calculator:

a=7.3

Therefore, <em>a</em> is equal to 7.3 when rounded to 1 decimal place.

<u>Other information you will need to know:</u>

In the above question, we needed to solve for a side. But what if we were given two sides and we needed to solve for an angle? For example:

\displaystyle sin\theta=\frac{5}{8}

In this case, we will use the inverse sine ratio:

\displaystyle \theta=sin^-^1(\frac{5}{8})

Solve using a calculator:

\displaystyle \theta=39

Therefore, the angle would equal approximately 39 degrees.

I hope this helps!

It would be D because you have to do the cube root on both sides. What I do is ignore the decimal and add it in later once the math is complete like on this question you can tell by process of elimination that 8 squared is 64 but you’re look for the cube root so that eliminates a and c and now just make sure the decimal is in the right place

Solve the triangle given two angles and one side.
Rasek [7]

Answer:

a = 102.05

b = 393.76

B = 93°

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of sines tells you ...

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, angle B must be ...

B = 180° -72° -15° = 93°

and the unknown sides must be ...

a = c/sin(C)·sin(A) = 375·sin(15°)/sin(72°) ≈ 102.05192

B = 93°

b = 375·sin(93°)/sin(72°) ≈ 393.75796

_____

The rounding requirement got cut out of your picture, so we can't help you with that.

X is inversely proportional to y, and x = 18 when y = 4. Write an equation relating the two
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

xy=72

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is inversely porportionaly to y, then for some constant k,

x = \frac{k}{y}\\xy=k

Since y is 4 when x = 18, k is equal to 4*18=72, so the equation is:

xy=72
