how to find x

[storm bear]

draw some fun right trianglers

[spark ocean]

how do i find x

wait

i think i know

so in the triangle on the left side do i try to solve the angle near the at the top

[storm bear]

yes

[spark ocean]

ohhh

thank you

genius

nevermind

i am confused now

im stuck

how do i find x

to find x do i need to find theta first

[storm bear]

find these two

you should be allowed basic right triangle trig right

[spark ocean]

oh ok

ok what next

[storm bear]

try to find a and b

can you think of any way you could do that

[spark ocean]

i found a and b

[storm bear]

nice

[spark ocean]

what after

[storm bear]

[spark ocean]

ohhh

x is a+b?

because its a rectanle

rectangle

and opposite sides equal

[storm bear]

yup

[spark ocean]

oh ok thank you

to find y can i find hypotenuse for the orange triangle

and use that and minus x

for y

[hollow cypress]

*to find y can i

find hypotenuse for the

orange triangle*

- notgaylikeyou

[storm bear]

LMAO jumpscare

[storm bear]

orange is not right

so there is no hypotenuse

[spark ocean]

ohh

how do i find y then

[storm bear]

use the rectangle thing again

[spark ocean]

oh ok

to find the blue angle

is it tan-1 y/x

i think i did finding the a and b wrong

cus there is answer on the sheet to check but mine is not the same as it

[storm bear]

well what did you get for a and b

and what was your process

[spark ocean]

i got correct answer now

i was using the wrong angle before

i was using the bottom angle before
