Question 10 of 40

1 answer:

6 0

Elio bought the turkey while it was on sale for $4/pound. We need to know how much they paid, not how much they saved on the sale. The price that the turkey usually costs is not important to answer this question. So the fact that turkey usually costs $5.50 is not needed to solve the problem.

Notice the picture
we have, the opposite side
the angle
and we want the hypotenuse

so recall your SOH CAH TOA $\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad \qquad 
% cosine
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\\ \quad \\\\
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent} =$

which one has all that? low and behold, is Ms Sine,
so let's bother Ms Sine

$\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\implies sin(27^o)=\cfrac{18}{hypotenuse}
\\\\\\
hypotenuse=\cfrac{18}{sin(27^o)}$

make sure your calculator is in Degree mode, since the angle here is in degrees, as opposed to Radian mode
