#

Okay so how would I find how far apart the deer from here?

trim breach
#

Have you learned trigonometric ratios yet?

inland mountain
#

Im pretty sure yes

#

I might have missed it tho when my teacher was talking about it

trim breach
#

You have two angles and a side in the right triangle from the furthest deer to the top of the hill, then straight down.

#

lol sorry, just finished an exam and I’m trying to eat while explaining, so I am not as my desk atm to draw it out.

inland mountain
#

Haha no problem im just thankful your explaining it at all

trim breach
#

But you have the adjacent side and the angle to use cosine.

#

For the hypotenuse to the furthest deer.

inland mountain
#

so use the adjacent side and the angle with cosine to figure out the hypotenuse of the furthest deer? Which would give me 46.6?

trim breach
#

Your hypotenuse should not be larger than a leg.

#

How did you use cosine?

inland mountain
#

acos(35/51)?

trim breach
#

Ah. Give me a sec again.

inland mountain
#

Okay np

trim breach
#

You want to use the cosine of this theta.

#

So cos(theta) = 51/y

#

And you solve for y.

inland mountain
#

Theta?

trim breach
#

Theta just means the angle you are using. In this case, it is 55 degrees since you subtract the angle of depression from 90 degrees.

#

Since we drew that imaginary perpendicular line from the top of the hill straight down.

inland mountain
#

Ah okay so id do cos 55= 51/y?

#

Okay I kinda understand but im still confused on how to get y somehow idk why tho

trim breach
#

That part is just algebra. Multiply both sides by y.

#

So now: y cos(55) = 51

#

Then divide both sides by cos(55).

#

So: y = 51/cos(55)

inland mountain
#

I got y = 88.91

trim breach
#

Yeah. I made a mistake earlier when I was explaining. That is just your hypotenuse for that triangle.

#

But you have two sides of that larger triangle now, so you can use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for that last side.

inland mountain
#

Okay I got 72.83 for the last side

trim breach
#

Yep.

inland mountain
#

Sorry I'm really bad at understanding stuff what would I do now to try and get x ?

trim breach
#

So now you have a strategy to find x.

#

x + z = 72.83

#

You find z by applying the steps we did in the first triangle to the new one.

inland mountain
#

I feel bad for making you explain this all but what are the steps before didnt we do like cos 55=51/y?

trim breach
#

Ignore the marker bleeding through.

#

Your hypotenuse is y.

#

No relation to what we solved for earlier.

inland mountain
#

Cos(43°)=51/88.19?

trim breach
#

Yeah, my bad…I should have used a different variable.

#

This y is not the y we solved for earlier.

#

Think of it as a new variable.

inland mountain
#

Ohhh

trim breach
#

Like a.

inland mountain
#

Okay so then I just multiple a on both sides then a cos(43°)= 51 a?

trim breach
#

Not quite.

#

When you multiply 51/a by a, the a’s cancel out.

#

But the a shows up on the other side.

#

a cos(43) = 51

#

So to isolate a, you divide both sides by cos(43).

#

Giving you: a = 51/cos(43)

inland mountain
#

So a=69.73?

trim breach
#

Yes!

#

So now you have two sides of the triangle.

#

Use Pythagorean Theorem to get z, the last leg.

inland mountain
#

So then z would be 47.55?

trim breach
#

Yes!

inland mountain
#

So then the distance between the deer is 25.28?

trim breach
#

Yep!

inland mountain
#

Yaya

how do i even solve this? my teacher just slapped these problems on me but i dont know how the heck i should do to solve this vector thing.

prime linden
#

And from there you can also work on seeing how to solve without drawing aswell using algebra and some geometry

#

Recall how vector addition works purely by drawing

inland mountain
#

So I have done the math I just dont know if the x should be on the opposite or adjacent

#

The elevation angle is always created between the hypotenuse and the "shadow" of the hypotenuse on the ground, such as in the diagram.
In this case, you are being asked about how far Linus (the black circle) is from the point directly below the kite, which is the point where the right angle is.
This distance would be the golden side.
Since that side is one of the sides near the angle, then it would be the adjacent side, not the opposite.

566766992180298, normally, you should be told which is the leg with respect to the angle, but in this case, since it's an isosceles right triangle, it doesn't matter.
Are you familiar with how to use sine / cosine / tan in this case to find the measure of the side?
Moreover, are you familiar with sine / cosine / tan values of common angles?

#

Here's a diagram to help.

dim cliff
#

can someone help me with this? (find the area of triangle ABC)

twilit zenith
#

In this specific case, after drawing the diagram, you can see that you're given two sides, as well as the angle between them.
Are you familiar with the formula:
S = a · b · sin (C) / 2
for the area of a triangle given those pieces of data?

foggy talon
twilit zenith
#

These are ratios between sides in a right-angled triangle.
The sine is the ratio between the opposite side to a specific acute angle and the hypotenuse.
The cosine is the ratio between the adjacent side to a specific acute angle and the hypotenuse.
The tangent is the ratio between the opposite side to a specific acute angle and the adjacent side to the same angle.

foggy talon
#

Im starting to understand, so in this problem it’s adjacent over hypotenuse

twilit zenith
#

Exactly. 👍
One more thing to note is that if you get one of these common angles, you may be expected to use these values as opposed to simply multiplying / dividing by sin (angle), cos (angle) or tan (angle) on a calculator.

The angles at the bottom of the top row are measured in degrees, as in the question you've shown.
The top row is in radians, which is another measurement of angles that you may encounter later on.

dim cliff
foggy talon
#

@twilit zenith thank you so I have to follow a formula

twilit zenith
#

sorry! but yes i am familiar with that formula
In that case, since these are the exact pieces of data you're given (meaning, two sides and the angle between them), then you can use that formula to find out the area right away.

In more convoluted example, you may have to perform additional calculations before that, such as using the sine theorem in order to find out one of the sides you need.

thank you so I have to follow a formula
The general way this type of question is solved - yes.

The formulas you typically use are:
sin (angle) = opposite / hypotenuse
cos (angle) = adjacent / hypotenuse
tan (angle) = opposite / hypotenuse

So, for example, if the angle you're given is 30°, and you're told that the hypotenuse is 10 cm, and you want to find the opposite side, you use the sine formula:
sin (30°) = opposite / 10 cm
30° is a common angle, so you use its sine value: 0.5, and you get:
0.5 = opposite / 10 cm
and from there, you solve for the third side.
In some other occasions, you may have both sides, and then you need to calculate the sine, cosine or tangent of the angle, from which you can extract the angle.

#

what is the best method to find cos(x) if you know sin(x)?

pure cape
#

use identities

#

there are plenty

#

for example, sin(theta) = cos(pi/2 - theta)

#

if you are using deg

#

its 90deg - theta

#

or pythag

compact jasper
#

not in all quadrants sin(theta) = cos(pi/2-theta) is it ?

#

but it general thats correct ...

For ellipses, does the square of the major axis mean anything in regards to its area? Trying to look at a geometric proof for a physics problem and it's buggin me hard. This is the proof, from the wiki page on "Shell theorem". I made it fine up to just after the ratios of the ellipses. Once it says "Therefore the two ellipses are similar, so their areas are as the squares of their major axes" that part kind of loses me.

#

I think the point trying to be made is that for each unit of distance from P, the area of the ellipse is proportional to the square of that distance

Since you're told that $\overline{VT}$ bisects $\measuredangle STU$, it often suggests that you should use the angle bisector theorem. The theorem states that the ratio between the two segments partitioned by the angle bisector is equal to the ratio between the lengths of the corresponding sides. In this case: $\$
$\frac{TS}{TU} = \frac{SV}{VU}$.

Can you solve the problem with this info ?

sharp hull
#

Hi, don't know if this should be posted in trig or in calculus, but I think it's more trig related so here :
Here, the person explaining this is trying to prove that the limit of sin(x)/x as it approaches 0 is 1, which, good on him and all. Is that actually necessary to know ? I mean I could literally just graph the function and I'd end up with the same result in a quicker way.
So the question is actually : Is that necessary to know as you're learning Calculus 1 ?

wintry tundra
#

if khan academy teaches it then its needed

sharp hull
#

But why ? In what part of calculus would I need that ?

unreal beacon
#

No you don`t need the proof of that to get through calc 1

sharp hull
#

But it is needed in calc 2 or 3 then ?

unreal beacon
#

Not even

#

It's extra learning material

sharp hull
#

Ah I see, well thank you! I was wondering, this felt like the formal definition of limits all over again

unreal beacon
#

Yeah... you just need to know what a limit is conceptually and how to find the limit of a function

#

if you want to get intuition behind something then look up a proof

#

Like I can know that the derivative of e^x is e^x. But why? Then I look up a proof

sharp hull
#

Yeah I see exactly what you mean, thank you ! It is great that Khan academy goes into details and proof like that though

unreal beacon
#

Yeah the number of available resources the internet offers is incredible for learning

crude patio

somber coyoteBOT
#

pᴉʞɔɐp

fast pulsar
#

There are multiple ways to go about it, but the way Khan does it is quite nice and geometrically clear.

#

Also, if you have learned about the definition of the derivative, this limit will appear when trying to find the derivative of sin(x).

sharp hull
#

I do indeed know about derivatives but not fully, our program had this weird math syllabus where we learned things that are in calc 1 without learning pre-calc beforehand, nor trigonometry, which is why I'm teaching myself all over again

But thanks! I didn't know that this was the derivative of sin(x) yet !
I'm not gonna lie I still prefer the graphical way of proving it but I'm sure the geometrical way has its benefits that I might just not be familiar with yet

#

This isn't the derivative of sin(x), that is not what I meant.

hello

#

why do we define trigonometric functions for angles larger than 90

peak flower
#

Because angles can be bigger than 90 degrees, @gray minnow ?

gray minnow
#

@peak flower not in triangle

#

isnt trigonometry about triangles

#

#

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

peak flower
#

There are also "non right" triangles which have more than 90 degree angles

#

And also, trigonometry has many other uses.

gray minnow
#

sorry if this sounds stupid

#

but

#

why sin(pi/2 + a) = cos(a)

#

i saw unit circle definition on khan academy website

#

i did not understand why in 2nd quadrant triangle adjacent side to angle becomes sin

#

he said side OA becomes sin(theta + pi/2)

#

shouldn't it be cos(theta + pi/2) because base/hypotenuse = cosine??

peak flower
#

@gray minnow I don't really know how to explain it on the unit circle but look at the graph of sine and cosine, then it makes perfect sense.

#

,w plot sin(x) and cos(x)

somber coyoteBOT
gray minnow
#

im starting to understand now

#

that unit circle definition doesnt really follow that ratio property outside 1st quadrant

#

in unit circle definition y coordinate is sine and x coordinate is cosine, the ratios doesnt reallly matter

#

correct me if im wrong

#

its because of this definition that sine and cosine graph follows that wave fashion

finite jackal
#

@gray minnow you are right in thinking that the adjacent side is related to cos, but the identity sin(pi/2+a) = cos(a) shows that they are equal. both things are saying pretty much the same thing. should it be cos(theta+pi/2)? well cos(theta+pi/2) = cos(theta) * cos(pi/2) - sin(theta) * sin(pi/2) = cos(theta) * 0 - 1 * sin(theta) = -sin(theta). does oa = -sin(theta)? cos(theta) = OA/hyp --> OA = hyp * cos(theta). In a unit circle the radius is 1, which is also the hypotenuse of this triangle. After you simplify you get OA = cos(theta) = sin(pi/2+a). Thus cos(theta+pi/2) does not equal OA. hopefully that helps

Perimeter of a square is 4 times it's side length. If the perimeter is 100, then that means one side of the square is 25. If the side length is set to 4x-3, then 4x-3=25. Therefore 4x=28, and x=7.

#

||use that to throw 2 sin theta , 1 + cos theta and 4 sin theta and then multiply b and c and use (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 ||

#

|| then use sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = 1 to get rid of the sin^2 theta ||

#

finally do a bit of manipulation and you have your result proven

the key to the question is to know the relationship of a geometric sequence's (first) three terms

can you show exactly what youre putting into it that gives you an answer of 22.52

rough stone
#

one second

#

sorry it was 4sin50/8

dark sparrow
#

?

rough stone
#

pic uploading

dark sparrow
#

you're trying to evaluate 4 sin(50°)/8, yes or no

rough stone
dark sparrow
#

...

#

okay

rough stone
#

so I know the answer is incorrect

#

I'm lost at 4sin50/8

dark sparrow
#

so really you want the value of B given that sin(B) = 4sin(50°)/8

rough stone
#

yes

dark sparrow
#

,w arcsin(sin(50°)/2) in degrees

rough stone
#

I was trying to find the values of the angles to get the values of the sides

somber coyoteBOT
dark sparrow
#

agh

#

,w arcsin(sin(50°)/2) * 180/pi

dark sparrow
#

22.52

#

okay, so...

rough stone
#

so I take the inverse of sin

dark sparrow
#

you got 22.52 degrees from your calculator?

rough stone
#

so I've been putting 4sin50/8 and not the arc sign

#

hold on

#

I just don't know how to compute it in the calculator lol

#

I feel retarded

brave zephyr
#

What did I do wrong here?

#

Ignore the 4 extra row of problems, not sure why it’s doing that.

dark sparrow
#

show work?

fast pulsar
dark sparrow
#

these solutions are a little hard to diagnose for faults

fast pulsar
#

Also, why is this equation showing up five times 🤔

#

Maybe it's 5 times as important weSmart

rough stone
#

I still don’t know how to input it in my calculator D:

#

I’m so confused

fast pulsar
#

This problem right?

rough stone
#

Yes

#

So I get 4sin(50)/8

fast pulsar
#

Okay, first, make sure your calculator is in degrees

rough stone
#

Yes it is

fast pulsar
#

Okay good.

rough stone
fast pulsar
#

Now do $\sin^{-1}(ans)$

somber coyoteBOT
#

dackid

fast pulsar
#

Where ans stands for answer

rough stone
#

Wow how does that work o.0

#

I’ve been sitting here for 2 hours trying to figure out this problem

#

Lol

fast pulsar
#

The ans takes account of the last output given by the calculator

#

You can also store outputs as variables

rough stone
#

So let’s say we didn’t do it that way

#

Is there an easier way?

#

Or would that be the easiest to input

fast pulsar
#
  1. answer is super easy to do, but we can do this in one go
rough stone
#

I tried in wolfram and get a different answer like 21.94

fast pulsar
#

[\sin^{-1}(\sin(50)/2)]

somber coyoteBOT
#

dackid

rough stone
#

So when inputting this I get 25

fast pulsar
#

That will get the job done

#

I got roughly 22.5°

rough stone
#

Unless I’m inputting it wrong again

fast pulsar
rough stone
#

Oh

#

I didn’t close

fast pulsar
#

Yes you are. You are putting the 2 inside the sine, which is not where it should be

rough stone
#

So in terms of the half is that determined by the 4/8 reduced to 1/2?

fast pulsar
#

Yep

rough stone
#

Let’s say if it were to be 3/9 it would be arc sin(sin(50)/3

fast pulsar
#

You forgot to close the arcsine, but yes

rough stone
#

Yeah sorry was trying to type fast on my phone haha

#

Thank you both so much

fast pulsar
#

You betcha

wanton storm

Lol I used to think is is what people meant when they said algebraic geometry

@remote bronze Marking the center and drawing radi to the corners will give you isosceles triangles. You are given the central angle for one of them. For the other two, use the central angle theorem together with the given inscribed angle.

Find x using Pythagoras. Find the angle for which 6 is opposite and 15 the hyp. This will in turn give you the other angle in the bottom left corner. Use tan for that now known angle with y as opposite and x as adjacent (with x now known).

since that's easier than messing with the 9 and 22 in the QF

oh yup

Late reply, but ΔEFG and ΔHFJ are similar, so you can use that to set the angle measures equal to each other.

trim breach
# valid sinew Can I assume r is half the rectangle x length?

I’m a bit confused by what you are asking…r is the radius of the circle and is not half the of the rectangle’s length. A radius touches the perimeter of the circle, so if you would draw that radius parallel to the rectangle’s longest pair of sides, it would be longer than half the rectangle’s length.

#

Since r can touch where the two sides of the rectangle meet (since it also touches the circle there), you can draw triangles if you would ever need to solve for things.

valid sinew
trim breach
#

The relationship with what I think your are talking about is a triangle where: r^2 = (b/2)^2 + (h/2)^2

#

Which would be what happens when you draw a line from the center of the circle to the midpoint of the shorter side of the rectangle.

dark sparrow
#

ah.

#

hm

#

...which of these answer options even represent points on your ellipse in the first place?

#

it feels as if only option A fits just that alone

#

all the others don't give you 1 if you evaluate x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2

steady shoal
#

I though of taking parametric coordinates ( a cosø ,b sinø) but the process is very tedious and long

#

Yes ik options can be put to get the answer but rn I’m more into the method without using brute calculus

dark sparrow
#

is this one of those "solve in under 10 seconds" questions

#

bc under THAT time constraint the only method is to test the answer options

#

okay so like

#

you can try letting $P = (x_0, y_0)$, try to write down the equation of the tangent, then find the coordinates of $N$ and maybe there's something clever to be done along the way that they expect you to just know

How do I solve this?

wintry tundra
#

Notice how c on dcf lies on the circle

#

A rule of circles is that if there's an angle with its midpoint lying on a circle the the arc it creates is twice the angle

#

Since a circumference is kinda measured in 360 degrees

#

Then If an arc created by an angle who's midpoint is in the center is measured in an angle then the angle is the same as the arc

#

So boom that should be what u need

dark sparrow

hmmm

#

maybe join M with A, B and C and consider the areas of the six triangles your ABC is split into?

then you can find the gamma angle by angle sum of a triangle, then use law of since by with gamma and c instead of beta and b

Thanks man

@humble pulsar its so much easier now

Find the straight line parallel with alpha1 : x +2y +4z = 8 and Alpha 2: x - y - 2z = 6 and trough p(2,1,0)

#

This is my solution. Is this correct?

In geometry, an inscribed angle is the angle formed in the interior of a circle when two secant lines intersect on the circle. It can also be defined as the angle subtended at a point on the circle by two given points on the circle.
Equivalently, an inscribed angle is defined by two chords of the circle sharing an endpoint.
The inscribed angle t...

right

#

so both GFH and EFH are right triangles

#

so you can determine the value of x since HF is a common side

I need help with this one

night vigil
#

They are teaching this in my Geometry CBE class

#

But for some reason he didnt talk about how to find JM

silent plank
#

apply the same formula for area

#

Area = base * (relative) altitude

#

@quartz torrent wow, took a bit but I have the solution which I will lead u to

night vigil
wintry tundra
#

Notice how, when the medians are drawn, it creates 2 right triangles

night vigil
#

Yes, but how do I find the altitude?

#

the relative altitude?

wintry tundra
#

Relative altitude is the highest altitude throughout the whole quadrilateral I'm pretty sure

#

Which is given

night vigil
#

ok

wintry tundra
#

But anyways these are the 2 triangles created @quartz torrent

#

So now u can use substitution with the pythagorean theorem to find C

#

Can anybody get the area of the striped part of the sphere

silent plank
#

when i say relative altitude, i refer the the altitude relative to a certain base
