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.
