Hi all


question on triangometry .


29044

I know solve this quetion put are we saying :

tan = 6/6.7 = 0.8955

or tan =6/6.7 =0.0156

I don't n did we take tan or direct divide 6/6.7 = 0.8955

I want your help please .

you divide the opposite side/adjacent side to the angle θ, which is 6/6.7= 0.89.

Then you take the tangent of this number, tan(0.89) = .0156 as your final answer

hey ... where did ya get it from???

EDIT: understood...

No, the opposite side divided by the adjacent side already is the tangent of theta

ohh ur right, i meant to say you would take the arctangent to find out the theta. i forgot to hit arctangent on my calculator and just put the number w/o paying attention. my bad, :tongue2:
