sinY=12/13 cosY=5/13 tanY=12/5.
Part III: Using your answers from parts I and II, what is significant about the and the ? Explain your answer. (2 points)
They are significant because they are functions revealing the shape of a right triangle, and can be used to find measurements.
Part IV: Using your answer from parts I and II, how are the tangents of and related to each other? Explain your answer. (1 point)
They are related to each other because They can both be used to find the sides of a right triangle.
2. A ski resort is building a new ski lift that will transport tourists from the base of the mountain to its highest point. This mountain has a vertical height of 200 yards, and the ski lift will rise at an angle of 40 degrees. When the project is completed, how many yards, d, will a tourist travel from the base of the mountain to its peak?
Part I: Sketch a figure to illustrate the scenario above. Label the vertices and the lengths that are given in the question. (3 points) Part II: Using your sketch from Part I, write an equation using a trigonometric ratio to find the distance a tourist will travel from the base of the mountain to its peak. Round your answer to the nearest 100th. Show your work. (2 points)
In order to find”d” you need to use sin = opposite over hypotnuse
a=4-
Opposite = bc=200
Hypotnuse=AB=d
311.14= answer
3. Darcy mounted a motion sensor so it would light a path to the door on her deck. If you know AB = 10 feet, and BE and BD trisect ∠ABC, what is the perimeter of the deck area to the right of the beam of light (△BDC)? Part 1: What other angles or sides of △BDC can you label given that side AB is 10 feet, BE and BD trisect ∠ABC? Label the diagram accordingly, and explain your reasoning. (4 points)
You can Label DC seeing as though it is parallel and congruent to ab
meaning it would be 10ft.
Part 2: Use the trigonometric ratios 30° and 60° to calculate and label the remaining sides of △BDC. Show your work. (3 points)
BC/CD= Absolute value of 3/1
Bc/10ft= Absolute value of 3/1
Part 3: Use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the length of side BD. Does this method verify the length you found using trigonometric ratios? (2 points) Yes, using the Pythagorean Theorem can help you to calculate the length of side BD.
Part 4: What is the perimeter of the area to the right of the beam of light on Darcy's deck (△BDC)? Show your work. Use your calculator to round your final answer to the nearest foot. (3 points)
The perimeter would be 47ft.
