If you're getting a mistake, check that you are in degree mode and not radian more. <br /><br />You need to type 8*(tan(34.9))/(tan(52.8)-tan(34.9))<br />(x, why?)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17499160002806879025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28172905.post-21760471020613474842016-06-17T10:11:59.945-04:002016-06-17T10:11:59.945-04:00How did you 'Divide: x = 8(tan 34.9) / (tan 52...How did you 'Divide: x = 8(tan 34.9) / (tan 52.8 - tan 34.9) ' for question 36? <br />I'm kinda stuck at that part.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28172905.post-18590678186889496392016-02-11T07:56:29.370-05:002016-02-11T07:56:29.370-05:00I'll add that when I get the chance.I'll add that when I get the chance. <br />(x, why?)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17499160002806879025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28172905.post-90187332643805663272016-02-11T07:56:09.954-05:002016-02-11T07:56:09.954-05:00To be perfectly honest, because I haven't chec...To be perfectly honest, because I haven't checked the curriculum lately. <br /><br />I haven't taught a full year of CC Geometry since it has been implemented and I was unaware that Law of Sines was part of it now. <br /><br />Yes, that would have made the solution easier. <br /><br />That said, this solution works for anyone who forget it, or their teachers didn't cover it enough. <br />(x, why?)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17499160002806879025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28172905.post-11881238957384703702016-02-10T23:53:24.262-05:002016-02-10T23:53:24.262-05:00On question 36,I think using Law of Sines was easi...On question 36,I think using Law of Sines was easier then the method of using two equations involving tangent. I know Law of sines is optional topic but I teach it to my students and after this question I'm happy I do.Math Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309935584236024092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28172905.post-81508447850822294532016-02-10T23:31:28.370-05:002016-02-10T23:31:28.370-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Math Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309935584236024092noreply@blogger.com
