Trigonometry in gimkit

so do trig you have to have a side and an angle I have a side but how would I get and angle

could you elaborate please?

well it depends, are you using the opposite or adjacent angle?

THAT WAS A BAD QUESTION

the adjacent angle


Well to get theta you need to put the adjacent SIDE over the hypotenuse (the slanted side). this is a right triangle right?

as in adjacent divided by hypotenuse equals theta

Wait, @Pineappleman you DO realize you need two sides to find the angle, right?

unless i’m wrong bc i’m still learning trig ;-;

Please further elaborate on what kind of system do you need trigonometry implemented on.

@padgett.emma-mauree don’t using AI bud

You mean stopped using the ai overview?

they have the same meaning


we can find the two slopes adjacent to the angle we need to find

Simply one question: WHY

ah yes
my mortal enemy
and 2nd most troublesome of my projects:
trigonometry (first is making an randomized punnett square equation in blocks just for a challenge)
but this seems simple enough (even though I forgot like all of my trig knowledge within a mere few seconds) but Google should be sufficient enough to do this but a side note
use atan to sub in for tan^-1 or inverse tan works the same just in radian I think

but I’m curious what are you working on that requires this?

Yeah bro I’m not solving ts (this) :broken_heart::wilted_flower:

But how do you find angle α when only segment c was given in the right triangle?

Again, you still haven’t answered my question about what kind of gkc system do you need to manipulate trigonometry on, I would be appreciated if you did so we can assist you better.

Oh gosh My life has a purpose im going to nerd mode and trigonometry plz help (im going to lose aura and brain power solving) so this Trigonometry uses trigonometric functions like sine, cosine, and tangent to relate the angles to the ratios of the sides. Then you need this and answering @NotYoyo question here You cannot uniquely determine angle α in a right triangle given only the length of the hypotenuse (segment c). You need at least one other piece of information, such as another side length or one of the acute angles, to solve for α. For example, if you know the length of the opposite side (a) or adjacent side (b), you can use trigonometric ratios (sin, cos, tan) to find α. (i typed that) It depends on the side and numbers for you to work> :smiley: You would need to use tan squared to -1 and it works as the radian inverse formula, Here a BreakDown 1. [Inverse Sine Function]

  • Formula: If y = sin⁻¹(x), then sin(y) = x.
  • Meaning: Find the angle (in radians) whose sine is equal to ‘x’.
  • Range: The principal value of arcsin(x) is in the interval [-π/2, π/2] (or [-90°, 90°]).
  • Example: arcsin(1/2) = π/6 radians (30 degrees).
  1. [Inverse Cosine Function]
  • Formula: If y = cos⁻¹(x), then cos(y) = x.
  • Meaning: Find the angle (in radians) whose cosine is equal to ‘x’.
  • Range: The principal value of arccos(x) is in the interval [0, π] (or [0°, 180°]).
  • Example: arccos(0) = π/2 radians (90 degrees).
  1. [Inverse Tangent Function]
  • Formula: If y = tan⁻¹(x), then tan(y) = x.
  • Meaning: Find the angle (in radians) whose tangent is equal to ‘x’.
  • Range: The principal value of arctan(x) is in the interval (-π/2, π/2) (or (-90°, 90°)).
  • Example: arctan(1) = π/4 radians (45 degrees).
  • Then You would need to use radian inverse formula to find out how GKC works! :smiley: (i need a life)

Could you possibly um… dumb it down a little?

Just one question:
Is this a right triangle? Or is it not?

You would use the pythagorean theorem
and also yes in radian inverse formula would be very in trigonometry and triangles if you want the formula plz tell me I give to you! :smiley:

Pythagorean theorem wouldn’t help if you would actually read what we’re trying to figure out.

I will assume that the side you know the value of passes through the center of the circle. Therefore, the triangle is in the image is a right triangle. If you know the diameter of the circle, let’s say D, and let’s say the angle you want is X, then turns out you can’t find that angle. Actually maybe you can.
