Frankly, I'm extremely confused as to how you find the tangent of these side lengths. Whenever I checked the answers it never worked out properly (for example, in question 1 the length of the apothem was 4.6 where the hypoteneus was 4)
I'm having trouble on problems in which a side length is "given".. I usually use tangent to find the apothem, but when I do this, somehow my answer ends up completely off.. For example, on #7, for the apothem I somehow got 7.2426 and for the area I got 217.278...
I think Paul's question is the same as mine, so yes, please review in the morning?

ReplyDeleteWe'll look at it in the am... and stop calling me Frank!
