SOH CAH TOA Help Forum

Face it, some of us really struggled last chapter, ask me your questions here and then check back often and hopefully we will be able to get things figured out when we aren't in class.  If you can help answer anyone else's questions, feel free to do that as well.

    2. 7:40, I have to droP my kids off, but it will be easy, you just need to remember a few things from algebra

  6. ok...um how do you construct the center of a circle? and for #20 how do you find the area of a circle again? isnt it 1/2 * radius squared * pi?
    abby

    ReplyDelete
  7. Pi times radius squared, and u just draw two chord and construct the perpendicular bisectors if both, where they cross is the center

    ReplyDelete
  8. ok... and is the perp. bisectors like using the compass and making the marks...?

  9. ok thank you and will you be in tomorrow moring about the same as today? because i can get parts of the proofs but i cant figure out all the reasons...
    abby

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yes, we have a teachers meeting but as soon as I'm done we can work on the proofs.

    ReplyDelete
  11. and on the constructing the center of a circle, the chords can be on opposite sides right?

    ReplyDelete
  12. and we leave at 8 for our band competition tomorrow so...

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yes, if we need to we will work on stuff Monday morning

    ReplyDelete
  14. well we will be back by geometry time...

    ReplyDelete
  15. oh ok...i just didn't know if the questions would take to long...but ok

    ReplyDelete
  16. hello, i was wondering when i could come and do the notecard...?
    abby

    ReplyDelete
  17. i was also wondering how to find a degree of a tangent to a chord but the chord isn't the diameter...is it still 90? it is number 16 on pg 631 if that helps...
    abby

    ReplyDelete
  18. Why don't u just do a card at home then bring it to school, that way u can still test tomorrow, and I'll be at school for lunch then we can answer any questions right before the test

    ReplyDelete
  19. ok...will do that...thanks

  20. How do you give a point on a circle?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. like what number on the review?
      abby

      Delete
    2. It's not on the review, like pg. 631. He just told us write equation of circle give center and a point on the circle.

      Delete
    3. ok so the equation is (x-h)squared + (y-k)squared = radius squared...the center is h,k and im not sure what the point would be...do you think it is just like another point like (ex. (1,3)) on circle?

      Delete
    4. ok and if you look on page 590 at like 27-30, that looks like it might be the same...

      Delete
  21. okay so say you had a circle and the equation was (x-3)squared + (y-4)squared =3... now would you just pick any point in that circle that the equation makes?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. im not for sure but i think so...so i think that means you could say that a point on the circle is (3,8) ?

      Delete
    2. okay thats what i was thinking. and on #7 on pg. 631 they're asking for the whole side right. just use pathagorean therom?

      Delete
    3. and is #6 on pg. 631 86 degrees?

      Delete
    4. no they are just asking for that little part outside the circle i think cause using pathagorean theorem it gives you 40, but im thinking it's that little part...

      Delete
    5. on 6 i got 94 degrees...

      Delete
    6. because wouldn't you go 90+90+86....then 180-that answer?

      Delete
    7. okay, how did you get 94? im so lost in this chapter...

      Delete
    8. ok sorry 360-that answer...

      Delete
    9. Yes 360 is what it would all add up to because it's a quadrilateral

      Delete
    10. i went 90+90+86= 266 then 360-266=94...

      Delete
    11. Oh! okay..makes sense..

      Delete
    12. yeah...sorry! and did you figure out how to do 7?

      Delete
    13. no...haha well we can ask mr. dobbins at lunch tomorrow...kk?

      Delete
    14. okay. #9 did you get 7.2?

      Delete
  22. yep! i think you might be gettin it!

    1. if everything was the pathagorean thereom id be good!!

      Delete
  23. hey on #13 i know the length of the chord how do you find the measure of the arc?

    ReplyDelete
  24. i took the cosine=3/6 and took that answer times two...then it took that answer times 2...cause i found the angle of that first triangle then i added two to get the intercepted angle of AB then times that answer by two....get it? its confusing i know but its hard to explain

    ReplyDelete
  25. so your answer is 120?

    ReplyDelete
  26. okay so heres what i all got, 16- a=44 b=71 17- x=26 y=40 19- x=5.9 and 20- x=8..those right?

    ReplyDelete
  27. i got every one of those except 17, y-i got like 41.5 but thats still ok...otherwise...yep all good!! way to go! :)
