Ok, so i dont remember how to do this, but Theres a triangle... Hypotenuse = 5. Opposite = 3. Adjacent = 4. However, idk how to find the answer with the calcumalator... lol.
So the question asks to find cos sin and tan... blah blah blah
But the answers are cos (angle alpha) = 4/5 = 0.8; sin (angle alpha) = 3/5 = 0.6; tan (angle alpha) = 3/4 = 0.75. So heres the question. I understand the fractions and all, but why did they get simplified? And how the hell do i type it in the calculator? Im lost rite there. Im lost on where does the calculator come in... Please help Thnx....
BTW how do you enter it into the calculator?
