Algebra.Com's Answer #777889 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I have a right angle triangle with 2 given sides. adjacent = 3 and the opposite = 5. I need to find a solution for the six trigonometric functions. The system is not accepting my solution of 5.8 for the hypotenuse, so I was wondering what I may have miscalculated. \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "Hypotenuse = sqrt(3^2 + 5^2) = sqrt(34) =~ 5.831 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Maybe it's a matter of # of digits? \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "a = short side = 3 \n" ); document.write( "b = 5 \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "A = angle opposite a, B opposite b \n" ); document.write( "======================= \n" ); document.write( "6 functions of which angle? \n" ); document.write( "============= \n" ); document.write( "r = sqrt(34) \n" ); document.write( "sin(A) = 3/r \n" ); document.write( "cos(A) = 5/r \n" ); document.write( "tan(A) = 3/5 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "cot = 1/tan \n" ); document.write( "sec = 1/cos \n" ); document.write( "csc = 1/sin \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "Adj = 3 and Opp = 5 is angle B.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
