Understanding Trigonometric Problems

The video tutorial explains how to solve a forward trigonometry problem involving a right triangle. It begins by identifying the given angle and sides, then labels the opposite and adjacent sides. The tangent function is used to set up an equation, which is solved using cross multiplication to find the missing side length.

What type of problem is it when the angle is given?

• Backward problem

• Forward problem

• Side problem

• Angle problem

Which trigonometric function is used when dealing with opposite and adjacent sides?

• Sine

• Cosine

• Tangent

• Secant

In a right triangle, which side is opposite the given angle?

• Hypotenuse

• Adjacent

• Base

• Opposite

Which side of the triangle is labeled as 'x' in this problem?

• Base

• Opposite

• Adjacent

• Hypotenuse

What is the first step in setting up the equation for this problem?

• Identify the hypotenuse

• Use the sine function

• Take the tangent of the angle

• Convert the angle to radians

What is the decimal value of the tangent of 37 degrees?

• 0.7356

• 0.5736

• 0.7536

• 0.6375

What operation is performed after converting the tangent to a decimal?

• Subtraction

• Division

• Addition

• Cross multiplication

What is the purpose of placing a '1' under the tangent value?

• To find the hypotenuse

• To prepare for cross multiplication

• To convert to radians

• To simplify the equation

What is the result of multiplying 0.7536 by 56?

• 41.2

• 43.2

• 42.2

• 40.2

What is the final step to find the missing side length?

• Multiply the sides

• Subtract the sides

• Add the sides

• Cross multiply and solve
