Study Notes
Right Triangle Relationships and Calculations
- To find the side length C, use the equation: sin(50) = 3/c.
- The relationship between angles in a right triangle is expressed as sin(b) = cos(90-b).
Side Length Calculations
- Length of side AC is approximately 10.5 m when rounded to the nearest tenth.
- To solve for side b, the equation tan(30) = 5/b can be applied.
- An alternative equation for b is b = 8 * tan(30).
Additional Side Length Information
- The length of side AB is approximately 38.6 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
- Equations to find C include c = 5 * cos(35) and c = 5 * sin(35).
Triangle Properties
- In a triangle with angles measuring 30°, 60°, and 90°, and a hypotenuse of 10 inches, the estimated perimeter is around 23.1 inches when rounded to the nearest tenth.
- For a right triangle with one side measuring 4 inches and an opposite angle of 80°, the hypotenuse is approximately 4.1 inches when rounded to the nearest tenth.
Side Length D
- The length of side CD is measured to be 10.7 cm.
