Question

NEED HELP ASSP!! please help!!??

Answer 1

Explanation:

this is a 30 60 90 triangle.. b/c 2 of the angles are given and you know the total is 180 around a triangle so the last angle is 30

also you know the hypotenuse of this triangle is 10 so use cos and sin to figure out the other sides

Use SOH CAH TOA to remember how the sin and cos functions fit on the triangle

CAH = Cos(Ф) = Adj/ Hyp we are given the Ф angle and we know the hypotenuse so solve for the Adj side

Hyp*Cos(Ф)= Adj

10 * Cos(60) = Adj

5 = Adj = y

Use Sin for the other side and the mnemonic to remember how it fits on the triangle and solve for the Opposite , since we don't know that .. yet

Sin(Ф) = Opp/ Hyp

Hyp * Sin (Ф) = Opp

10 * Sin(60) = Opp

10 *
`√(3)`/2 = Opp

5*
`√(3)` = Opp = x

:) I know Sin(60) =
`√(3)`/2 from a table and also my memory .. know that one from memory
