okay, the tree problem, i totally understand now. i did get the answer. i had forgotten that you could split triangles up like that. the other problem I'm totally stumped on still. okay, with the height as the opp and the adjancet leg needed you would need to use tangent. i realized that i had...
:-p
I have two problems that I'm not sure how to work out.
1. You are driving to st louis, missouri and in the distance you see the gateway-to-the-west arch. this monument rises 192 m. you estimated your line of site to the top of the arch to be 2 degrees above horizontal. how far...
okay, so how about, if you have the lengths, but need the angle you use the inverse. if you have the angle then you need to use just cos, sine or tan ? is that right ? I'm not very good with trig. the link did not work, sorry.
I'm learning physics, and I'm reviewing over the trig part of the chapter. My professor does not allow us to use calculators. I'm looking at the inverse of the trig functions. What I don't understand is : it says that the reciprocal does not equal the inverse. like tan -1 does not equal 1/tan...
thank you
:smile: I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your time. The study links are great. Your advice was also great. I think that I'm starting to get there. I almost bumped into someone the other day and the first thing I thought of was Newton's third law. LOL. It's just taking...
I need just general help right now. I'm in physics, and I'm doing terrible in it. I'm reading the book, I work the examples out, then see how they were done. I've always got most of them right. I go to do the homework, and I'm stumped. My teacher doesn't work from the book because he wants you...
