Well the teacher helped us, he was like qypx... if an equation is like this y=(x-p)squared <- well thats a formula lol, well teh p= x and another formula is y= x+ q the q=y get it....

 

zomg we had to figure out the vertex and like x-intercept and stuff.. i get it when we do the worksheet but once the tests come.. geez i freezee upp :mellow:

Ok:

 

A ladder 12 meters long leans against a building. It rests on the wall at a point 10 meters above the ground. Find the angle the ladder makes with the ground.

TI-82 screen: sin-1 (10/12) = 56.44

 

Trigonometric Ratios Table:

sin 56o = 0.8290

sin 57o = 0.8387

 

By either answer, after rounding to

the nearest degree, the answer is 56o.

 

Co...co...correct...! And I haven't even learned Trigonometry yet...

 

You win a prize!

i thought you said this was on your test??

 

Not this one, only the first exercice. Now for another (sorry, but no prize this time) from my test now:

 

8) Mr. Barroso makes Arriaiolos tapestries. Working 3h per day he takes 4 weeks to make one. The next order is for 3 weeks ahead. How many hours per day should Mr. Barroso work then?

This one takes a whilee. And u kno the other one, the triangle one. Couldnt u have done that problem doing it by the Pythagorean theorem?

You could use the Pythagorean Theory to solve the one side, then you would have to use SoHCaHToa for angles. So in a way it could help you, but its not needed.

Radiance, by lookicn gta the 1st post i say the 9th, the first question was taken from his test the day before he set it and it had 9th grade maths test?

 

Yep, I'm 9th grade! Pythagorean theory is quite simple, though. More coming, and the last problem is correct!

 

But you can use the three simple rule:

 

3 - 4

3 - x

 

x = 3x4/3 = 4h

 

x = 4h

Omg ur grade 9? I never learnt trigonometry when iw as in grade 9 [ im in grade 10 now]. Omg what a coincidence, our next unit is on trigonometry, we just finishing up congruency and how to find out the angles on a triangle [ i forgot what the unit is called lol]
