Question
1. Solve the right triangle. Round answers to one decimal place if necessary. Note: c is the hypotenuse.
a = 4 c = 10
2. Solve the oblique triangle. a = 2.3, b = 10.8, c = 9.7
3. Determine the number of solutions to the triangle. Do not solve.
A = 29 degrees, a = 7, b = 10
4.Determine the number of solutions to the triangle. Do not solve.
A = 57degrees, a = 62, b = 50
5. Determine the Quadrant that the point (3, pi/4) is in. Note: this point is in polar coordinates.
6. Determine the Quadrant that the point (-2, 5pi/6) is in. Note, this point is in polar coordinates.
7. Determine the Quadrant the point (-5, -7pi/6) is in. Note: this point is in polar coordinates.
8.Convert the following point from polar to rectangular coordinates.
(4, 4pi/3)
Explanation / Answer
1) a = 4 , c = 10
applying pythagorean identity
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
b^2 = c^2 - a^2
b^2 = 10^2 - 4^2
b = sqrt ( 100 - 36 )
b = 8
2) a = 2.3 , b = 10.8 , c = 9.7
applying law of cosines
A = cos^-1 [ 10.8^2 + 9.7^2 - 2.3^2 ] / 2*10.8*9.7
A = 11.33 degrees
B = cos^-1 [ 2.3^2 +9.7^2 - 10.8^2 ] / 2*2.3*9.7
B = 112.76 degrees
C = 55.92 degrees
