Precalc - Tumblr Posts
1 year ago
just saying I don't think I should have to use the trigonometry I haven't used since. gosh it feels like since precalc. mainly at all but also specifically for my landscape design graphics class. I'm here to draw pretty trees I'm not here to find the hypoteneuse

actually i never had to find the hypoteneuse in this situation
i had it the whole entire time
what i had to find was first the measure of an angle (in a non-right triangle) using all three side lengths
because what i really wanted was the triangle's altitude
if that's the right word
and then i had to find the length of a leg of a made up right triangle
because that's what an altitude is
again assuming that's the right word
using the hypoteneuse length and the measure of the angle i found earlier
btw the angle was about 61.25 degrees
and the altitude was about 58.74 feet
gotta wonder what my classmates did for this because i feel like this was not it

i did in fact use the rule of cosines
i think that’s what it’s called
