Given triangle ABC with a equals 15 b equals 21 and c equals 34 find the area of the triangle Round your answer to the nearest tenth?
The area is 99.0 square units.
How do you get cosine of 70 degrees?
Note: When doing trigonometry, it is highly recommeded that you have a scientific calculator at hand. Also, make sure your calculator is in Degree (D or Deg) mode and not Radian (R or Rad). To find the cosine of 70o, press 'cos', then type in 70, then press equals. You should get 0.342 (to the nearest 3 decimal places).
When can you use the inverse of sin?
You can use the inverse of sin when you want to solve an equation where x is the angle you're trying to find. Say sin(x)=32/50 Since you can't plug "x" into your calculator, use the arc sin (represented on your calculator by sin -1) on both sides to get rid of the sin. This is how it would plug into your calculator: sin-1 (32/50) Whatever the answer is would be what "x" equals.
How do you find cosine on a scientific calculator?
Look for a button marked "cos". Note that some calculators have degrees, radians and other measurements. So check you are in the right mode.
How do you find the measure of an angle by using its tangent?
You would have to use its opposite tangent, tan-1on your scientific calculator. It would be tan-1(opposite side/adjacent side), and you must have the opposite and adjacent sides of the angle you are trying to solve.
