Question

c. Which trig function are you going to use based on how you labeled the triangle?
HINT: You can find the trig functions on the Geometry formula chart, in your guided notes for unit 2 orremember SOH CAH TOA
(1 point)
tan (36)
sin (36)
cos (36)

Answer 1

I can’t pick the right one without seeing which two sides you labeled. Use SOH CAH TOA:

- If you labeled opposite and adjacent → use tan(36) because tan = opposite/adjacent.
- If you labeled opposite and hypotenuse → use sin(36) because sin = opposite/hypotenuse.
- If you labeled adjacent and hypotenuse → use cos(36) because cos = adjacent/hypotenuse.

Tell me which sides you labeled and I’ll pick the exact function and set up the equation.
