[object Object],Ex 2) NOTE: be sure you calculator is set to degrees.

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Tangent ( t an) = o pposite a djacent NOTE: Angles may be represented by capital letters.Another way to remember cos, sin and tan equations is to remember soh cah toa.

[object Object],We know the adjacent and the length of the ladder so we can use cosine to find the unknown angle. 10m Ground Cos Ø = a/h Cos Ø = 2/10 Cos Ø = .2 Now using a scientific calculator you push .2 * 2ndF cos which will give you 78.46. (depending on your calculator you may need to push 2ndF before multiplying it by .2) The answer is 78° If you were to find a length based of an angle you would not use 2ndF (sin^-1)

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The sine law can be used when you have all the angles and need to find segment lengths. NOTE: Capital letters are used to label angles. Lower case letters are used for line segments.

[object Object],85° 68° 27° NOTE: Segment c is opposite angle C. Segment b is opposite angle B and , so on. Segment b: Sin68 = sin27 b 18 18(sin 68) = b(sin27) 16.689 = b(sin27) sin27 sin27 36.67m = b NOTE: Cross multiplied here (at second step). Segment a: a = 18 Sin85 sin27 a(sin27) = 18(sin85) a(sin27) = 17.931 sin27 sin27 a = 39.496 NOTE: I used either or types of formulas however you cannot (when solving for a segment) have a segment as the numerator on one side of the equal sign and a segment as the denominator on the other side of the equals sign.

[object Object],The formulas are: a² = b² + c² - 2bc (cosA) b² = a² + c² - 2ac (cosB) c² = a² + b² - 2ab (cosC) In these formulas you are solving for the side length.

[object Object],a² = b² + c² - 2bc (cosA) 3² = 5² + 6² - 2(5)(6) (cosA) 9 = 25 + 36 – 60 (cosA) 9 = 61 – 60 (cosA) 9 = 61 – 60 (cosA) – 61 -52 = -60(cosA) -60 -60 .867 = cosA .867 = 29.89° NOTE: In the fourth step you cannot combine 61 to -60. You must follow the order of operations , your multiplying -60 to cosA. Ex ) Find b b² = a² + c² - 2ac (cosB) b² = 8² + 6² - 2(8)(6) (cos40) b² = 64 + 36 – 96 (cos40) b² = 100 – 93.5 SQRT(b²) = SQRT(26.5) b = 5.1 NOTE: SQRT() is computer language saying ‘square rooting whatever is in the brackets’.
