That is just an example.. Does anyone have any links to tutorials on how to do them?

 

[Fwiffo]

yeah, i know trig, but good luck finding a tutorial, having trouble with homework or something?

 

[Emily]

What are you supposed to be solving for in that diagram?

 

[Fwiffo]

Asking for a tutorial on trig is like saying 'Can you teach me who to do chemistry on the internet?', i have a good plan, pay attention during class

 

[kostas]

if you drew this, you really need to learn your angles. that is nowhere near 59 degrees

 

[aliasaid]

lmao ya thats a right angle...

and as emily said what are trying to find in that diagram? and whats 48? the length of that side? i smell pythagorus..

I would suggest this but it might be a little too advanced. I think you have a better shot just asking the questions. I am sure someone will help you.

But that would just be using tan, if this is a right triangle

tan = opps/adj

so tan 59 = x/48

so that would be tan 59 * 48 = x

then you just to x^2+48^2=y^2 and ta da you got all the sides

then just 90-59 and you can get the other angle

just look things up on google or us the wikipedia i found something but yeah nah

as a student of trig i must say... "WRONG!!!111!"

:amazed: that is a pretty horrible diagram.

pzero you can't use pythagorus' theorem as this is apperently not a right angled triangle. ahhhhh god i wish i could help but i can't remember the sine and cosine rule so i'm stuck to right angled triangles
