Trigonometry Part 2
Storyboard Text
- This looks familiar to what I learned, if I can apply it to this situation I can find the height
- Hmm, well to make this easier for myself let's imagine a right angle and identify the sides
- Opposite
- The angle of elevation from me to the apple seems like it's 49 degrees
- Adjacent
- 36 cm
- Hypotenuse
- First off the distance between me and that apple is roughly 36cm
- 49
- SOHCAHTOATOA - Theta (49), Opposite, Adjacent (36 cm)Expression:tan(theta) = Opposite/ Adjacent
- Opposite
- Now that I have my numbers let's check, SOHCAHTOA. I have the adjacent and the angle for tan and what is needed now is the opposite, so TOA will be my function.
- Adjacent
- 36 cm
- Hypotenuse
- 49
- The End
- tan49 = Opposite/36(36)(tan49) = Opposite/36 (36)41 = Opposite
- If I get my expression and replace the terms, my equation would betan49 = Opposite/36
- Opposite
- Adjacent
- Hypotenuse
- 36 cm
- So when I get my equation and multiply both sides by 36 the height would roughly be 41 cm
- 49
