One more time?

RobVG — 2/1/2008 7:59:57 PM (archived)

I thought trig could only be appied to rt. triangles? Unless I don't understand your phrasing, didn't you solved ABC -45,60,75?

I divided ABC into two rt. triangles top and bottom, the bottom one being 60,90,30 with the 100' as the hypotenuse and solved the other sides

Came up with A = 90.338

It's been a very long time since using trig. I forgot how much I enjoyed math- while not being tested. :)
