Example Question #1813 : High School Math
In this figure, side
,
, and
. What is the value of angle
?
Undefined
Since , we know we are working with a right triangle.
That means that .
In this problem, that would be:
Plug in our given values:
Example Question #11 : Relations And Functions
Let ABC be a right triangle with sides = 3 inches,
= 4 inches, and
= 5 inches. In degrees, what is the
where
is the angle opposite of side
?
We are looking for . Remember the definition of
in a right triangle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
So therefore, without figuring out we can find
Example Question #1 : Trigonometric Functions And Graphs
In this figure, if angle , side
, and side
, what is the measure of angle
?
Undefined
Since , we know we are working with a right triangle.
That means that .
In this problem, that would be:
Plug in our given values:
Example Question #1 : Understanding 30 60 90 Triangles
In this figure, ,
, and
. What is the value of angle
?
Undefined
Notice that these sides fit the pattern of a 30:60:90 right triangle: .
In this case, .
Since angle is opposite
, it must be
.
Example Question #2 : Understanding 30 60 90 Triangles
A triangle has angles of . If the side opposite the
angle is
, what is the length of the side opposite
?
The pattern for is that the sides will be
.
If the side opposite is
, then the side opposite
will be
.
