If the only information given about an oblique triangle is the lengths of the three sides which method should you use to solve for the angles?

By using the cosine rule in trigonometry the angles of the triangle can be worked out.


How do you subtract vectors?

it depends on the method of subtraction. If the vectors are drawn graphically then you must add the negative of the second vector (same magnitude, different direction) tail to tip with the first vector. If the drawing is to scale, then the resultant vector is the difference. If you are subtracting two vectors <x1, y1> - <x2, y2> then you can subtract them component by component just like scalars. The same rules apply to 3-dimensional vectors


What is the rectangle method in math?

The term "rectangle method" is used in different ways in math, but I will guess that your question is related to finding areas on a Geoboard. A Geoboard has a grid of pegs; you can make outlines of figures by stretching elastic bands around the pegs. If your figure is a triangle, you can find it's area by making the smallest rectangle which will enclose the triangle (The rectangle should have vertical and horizontal sides). The area of the rectangle can be found easily by multiplying the length by the width. The area of the triangle is half of the area of the rectangle.


What is an asa triangle?

ASA is not a triangle, it is a method of proving that two triangles are congruent. ASA refers to showing that if two angles and a side (Angle-Side-Angle) of one triangle are the same measures as the corresponding angles and side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. Since the three angles sum to 180 degrees, if two of them in one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles in the second triangle, then the third set of angles must also be equal. Consequently, ASA is equivalent to AAS and SAA. That is NOT The case with two sides and an angle, where it must be the included angle that is equal.


How do you Draw Arcs in GstarCAD?

An arc is a portion of a circle. The default method for drawing arcs is to specify three points-the start point, a second point, and the endpoint. You can draw an arc using several different methods.

What two methods can you use when solving vector addition?

You can use the graphical method, which involves drawing vectors on a coordinate system and adding them tip-to-tail to find the resultant vector. Alternatively, you can use the component method, breaking each vector into its horizontal and vertical components and adding them separately to find the resultant vector.


What is the triangle law of forces?

The triangle law of forces states that if two forces acting simultaneously on a point can be represented in magnitude and direction by the two sides of a triangle taken in order, then the resultant force can be represented by the third side of the triangle. This law is fundamental in vector addition, illustrating how forces can be combined to determine their resultant. Essentially, it provides a geometric method for analyzing the effects of multiple forces acting at a point.


When solving vector addition problems you can use either the graphical method or the what?

Trigonometry Method. (Resolve the forces along one plane, and then again in a perpendicular plane using cos or sin function. Then use Pythagoras's theorem to work out the hypotenuse (a2+b2=c2). Then use 'Soh Cah Toa' to work out the correct angle of the resultant Force.

What is parallelogram method?

The parallelogram method is a graphical technique used in vector addition. It involves constructing a parallelogram using the two vectors to be added, with the diagonal of the parallelogram representing the resultant vector. The magnitude and direction of the resultant vector can be determined from the properties of the parallelogram.


How do you describe the resultant computed using the graphical method from that of the component method?

You describe the resultant computed using the graphical method by connecting the vectors head to tail. The difference from the tail of the first one to the head of the last one is the resultant vector. To determine resultant vector with the component method you use the formula x(squared) + y(squared) = R (squared).


What is the example of head to tail rule?

The head-to-tail rule is a method used to find the resultant of two vectors by placing the tail of one vector against the head of the other. For example, if a 5N force is applied east and a 3N force is applied north, using the head-to-tail rule, the resultant force can be found by connecting the tail of the first vector to the head of the second vector to form a triangle.


Compare the different methods in determining the resultant vector?

The graphical method involves using vector diagrams to visually represent the vectors and their resultant. The analytical method involves breaking down the vectors into their components and then summing the components to find the resultant. The trigonometric method uses trigonometric functions to calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector.

How may the resultant of two vectors be computed analytically from a vector parallelogram?

The resultant of two vectors can be computed analytically from a vector parallelogram by determining the diagonal of the parallelogram. The diagonal represents the resultant vector, which can be found by adding the two vectors tip-to-tail. This method is based on the parallelogram law of vector addition.
