By themselves, they cannot. Two similar triangles have the same angels and so they have the same trig ratios. You need to know the length of at least one side to determine the area.

Uses of six trigonometry functions?

The trigonometric functions give ratios defined by an angle. Whenever you have an angle and a side in right triangle, you can find all the other angles and sides using the six trigonometric functions and their inverses. The link below demonstrates the relationship between functions.


How the trigonometric area formula can be used to find the area of an equilateral triangle if you are only given the length of one side?

It is: 0.5*length squared*(sin 60 degrees)


How can you use inverse trigonometric functions?

You can use them to find the sides and angles of a right triangle... just like regular trigonometric functions


How do you find theta for right triangle?

You can use your trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent).


How do you find trigonometric ratios without a calculator?

There are a few ways. First, there are a multitude of trigonometric tables which list the sines and cosines of a variety of values. if you now one trigonometric value of a number, you can find all the others by hand, and you can also use a Taylor series approximation to find a fairly accurate value. (In fact, many calculators use Taylor series to find trigonometric values.)


How do you find trigonometric ratios of angles greater than 90 degrees?

subtract 90 from it and find the trig ratio of that and it will be equal to the trig ratio that is over 90 degrees


How do you find the area if you have a right angle triangle with all the mesurements?

To find the area of a right triangle, you can use the formula A = 0.5 * base * height, where the base and height are the two sides that form the right angle. Alternatively, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the lengths of the sides if they are not given, and then use the formula mentioned earlier. Another method is to use trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine, or tangent to find the area based on the given angle and side lengths.


When do you use sin in geometry?

When you wish to measure certain aspects of angles. You could use it to find the ratios of sides of a triangle, or the area of a triangle or a segment of a circle. You could use it to study simple harmonic motion.


How you find the area of a triangle?

To find the area of a triangle, you have to multiply the base of the triangle and the height of the triangle, then divide the product of those numbers by two.


How do you find the area and perimiter of a triangle?

To find the area of a triangle find the base and the height of the triangle. Then multiply the base by the height, then divide by 2. To find the perimiter of a triangle add together the outside edge of the triangle. To find the area of a triangle find the base and the height of the triangle. Then multiply the base by the height, then divide by 2. To find the perimiter of a triangle add together the outside edge of the triangle.


Are trigonometric functions used to find the acute angles of a right triangle?

they can be, depending on the information that you are given. If you know lengths of sides, then YES.


Do you have to miltiply to find the area of a triangle?

In order to find the area of a triangle, you need to multiply the base of the triangle with the height of the triangle and then halve your final answer.The formula is (Base x Height) / 2Using that, the area of a triangle can be found.Hope that helps.Jamz159
