  • i have a very important question but i dont know what formula to use. If anyone wants to help me out its "Find the length of side "h" in the triangle, given that angle A measure 40 degrees and the distance from C to A is 25"

  • @Freshhotwater if it is a right triangle, use cos40=25/x

  • I have some problems I need help with. Can anyone help me, my final exam is next thursday, thanks.

    A tree cats 25m shadow when the elevation of the sun is 36 degrees. Find the height of the tree to the nearest tenth of a metre.

  • The TOA Formula will solve this:

    tan36=height/25

  • 58^2 is not 3346!

    its 3364!

    i got confused why my calc has a different answer!

    amf

  • I will make an annotation on the video to point out my mistake to future viewers. Thanks for showing it to me.

  • Thank you VERY much. My Honors math teacher is horrible, explaining things so vaguely, and when I ask him a question, he makes no sense at all. We have been doing trig for 1 month and I couldn't understand the cosine law. But your nine minutes just taught me more than a months teaching from my teacher. Much appreciated for all the help sir.

  • thanks for the help!
