#

k mb

onyx jay
#

shinglee

pseudo rivet
#

singaporean then

onyx jay
#

yes it's Singaporean then

pseudo rivet
#

Anyway abt the question

#

To find HC

#

We must subtract BH from HC.

#

Try to find expressions of BH and HC in terms of the known length AB and the known angle ABC

#

the*

pseudo rivet
onyx jay
#

oh yes

pseudo rivet
#

Its known

#

Yes

onyx jay
#

Its 4.98

pseudo rivet
#

you know you have no life when you can find the exact assessment book ๐Ÿ˜ญ

pseudo rivet
#

Now can you find BC?

onyx jay
#

wait

#

let me try

Let @onyx jay try

onyx jay

onyx jay
#

but im trying to find it

marble nebula
#

Idk

pseudo rivet
onyx jay
#

by myself

pseudo rivet
onyx jay
#

yes

#

because my finals are coming in 15

pseudo rivet
#

As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.

Alr

ty sry

marble nebula
#

๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™

#

can i give a hint ๐Ÿ˜˜

pseudo rivet
#

up to you

onyx jay
#

wait

pseudo rivet
#

Id let OP try first

onyx jay
#

Do I find ac

#

AC*

pseudo rivet
#

which trig function of ABC

marble nebula
onyx jay
pseudo rivet
#

Relates the known AB to the unknown BC?

pseudo rivet
onyx jay
pseudo rivet
#

Which trig function of the angle ABC relates AB to BC

#

sin tan or cos

onyx jay
#

ohh

#

what

pseudo rivet
#

mb if i was not clear

onyx jay
#

which one

pseudo rivet
#

Its cosine btw

#

Adj/hyp

#

Wait

hard coral
#

another idea if u solved A is that u could look for 2 proportional triangles

onyx jay
#

cos?

pseudo rivet
pseudo rivet
pseudo rivet
#

Can you write out the formula for cos (ABC)?

onyx jay
#

okay

hard coral
#

2 triangles that have the same angles

pseudo rivet
#

Like which lengths is it in diagram ty

onyx jay
pseudo rivet
#

whats it in this case

onyx jay
pseudo rivet
onyx jay
#

isnt AH=7.38

pseudo rivet
#

nono

#

k wait

onyx jay
#

okok

pseudo rivet
#

||cos ABC = adjacent / hypothenuse = AB/BC||

hard coral
pseudo rivet
#

do you get it now

#

@onyx jay

onyx jay
#

no

onyx jay
onyx jay
#

I need to find

#

hc

#

how do I do that

pseudo rivet
#

wait youre getting it mixed up

#

We need to find HC

#

so we need to find BC and BH and then subtract

#

You calculated BH already

onyx jay
#

Yes

#

Then I need to find hc

#

oh yes

pseudo rivet
#

we only need to find BC

#

And were done

onyx jay
#

find bc

pseudo rivet
#

Because cos 56 = AB/BC is known

#

And AB is known

#

We can find BC

#

you follow @onyx jay

onyx jay
#

okay

#

I tried

#

I did tan

pseudo rivet
#

why

#

its cos

onyx jay
#

what

pseudo rivet
#

,w cos 56

pseudo rivet
#

AB/BC is 9.8/BC is approximately 0.56

#

then we know BC

#

Right

onyx jay
pseudo rivet
#

Whats BC

drowsy ermineBOT
#

Carbonite

onyx jay
#

isnt*

pseudo rivet
#

Ah

#

But cos (56) is 0.56

#

So 9.8/BC is 0.56

onyx jay
#

what

pseudo rivet
marble nebula
#

Just sum all angles

#

to find angle acb

#

or angle ach

onyx jay
#

cos abc

#

56

onyx jay
#

AB/Ac

#

SDO I FIND AC

marble nebula
#

Yea

#

Ig?

onyx jay

#

Total internal angle of triangle is 180 degree, 2 angles are given ie, 90 and 56, so remaining is 34

marble nebula
marble nebula
#

180= 90+56+x

onyx jay
#

OH MY GOD

#

IM SO STUPID

#

I LUTERALLY KNEW THE ANSWER

#

I WROTE IT

#

sry if I couldnt help that much @onyx jay
