A triangle has a base of 4 cm and an angle of 38° opposite to the height h. Which of the following equations correctly expresses the relationship to solve for h?
A triangle has a base of 4 cm and an angle of 38° opposite to the height h. Which of the following equations correctly expresses the relationship to solve for h?
- $h = 4 \times \cos(38)$
- $h = 4 / \tan(38)$
- $h = 4 \times \sin(38)$
- $h = 4 \times \tan(38)$ (correct)
Using the given triangle with a base of 4 cm and a 38° angle opposite the height h, what is the approximate height h in centimeters, rounded to two decimal places? (Note: $\tan(38°) ≈ 0.7813$)
Using the given triangle with a base of 4 cm and a 38° angle opposite the height h, what is the approximate height h in centimeters, rounded to two decimal places? (Note: $\tan(38°) ≈ 0.7813$)
- 4.00 cm
- 2.56 cm
- 5.12 cm
- 3.12 cm (correct)
In a similar triangle, the base is doubled to 8 cm, but the angle opposite the height remains 38°. How does the height, h, change compared to the original triangle?
In a similar triangle, the base is doubled to 8 cm, but the angle opposite the height remains 38°. How does the height, h, change compared to the original triangle?
If the angle opposite to the height h is increased while the base of the triangle remains constant at 4 cm, how does the height h change?
If the angle opposite to the height h is increased while the base of the triangle remains constant at 4 cm, how does the height h change?
