Study Notes
Right Triangles and Trigonometry Overview
- Triangle with side lengths 34 in, 20 in, 47 in is classified as obtuse.
- In triangle ABC, with a right angle at A and angle B measuring 45 degrees, one side length is 14√2 ft.
- The diagonal hypotenuse of triangular quilt pieces measures 18 in, leading to a side length of 9√2 in.
Trigonometric Values
- To find missing values using sine, sin = 8/15 results in an angle of approximately 32.23°.
- For cosine, cos = 9/20 yields a value of about 63.26°.
Application of Angles in Real Situations
- Viola drives 200 meters at a 9° incline, covering a horizontal distance of approximately 197.5 in.
- The distance to the top of a building measured from Mr. Collin's class is determined to be 154 ft.
- An airplane pilot observes an atoll at a 5° angle of depression; the horizontal distance to the atoll is 4,629 meters.
Height and Distance Calculations
- A surveyor measures 160 ft from a pole base and calculates the height to be approximately 307 ft using a 62° angle of elevation.
- The hypotenuse of a 30°-60°-90° triangle measuring 12 leads to a perimeter formula of 18 + 6√3.
Additional Measurements
- An unspecified measurement has been recorded as 27.8 in.
- Another angle measures 42°.
- One calculated distance is 454 miles.
- An angle related value is 48.6°.
- A final angle measurement found is 31°.
