you missed a step; the answer you got is correct, but it's not what you're solving for. you got the 2nd unknown angle in the triangle, but not the value of theta itself. from here you need to solve for theta using missing angles in a triangle w/ 2 known angles (180 - 63 - 42 = 75). basically you weren't wrong in the answer for the other unknown angle (i've dubbed angle 'a' in my solution), but forgot to solve for theta afterwards.

what do u mean by ‘value’? Help im lost
isnt when u say (for example) a=3 in an equation doesnt that mean the value of a is 3?

I got 63 degrees
i did the following steps: (also i swear my handwriting looks better on paper )

You have to solve the angle opposite to the missing side, the angle you just found is opposite to 8 , so minus the answer form the angle you just found from 180 so you do:
180-63-42=75
180(sum of all angles in a triangle)-63(angle you just solved)-42(angle they all ready gave)=75(theta)

OHHH IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW OMG THX

Wait also guys so when we got that theta is 75 degrees why does the answer say ‘75 degrees or 117 degrees’? I get that 180-63 is 117 but that doesnt make any sense in addition to the question saying that theta is an acute angle, how does that work?

What topic r u guys doing rn at ur skl? Also ur 5.3 yh?

 

[ellurbee]

we just finished surds in the last week of school. Hbu?

Shavi- Do you think they're gonna put ambiguous cases in our Yearly- Imma cry if they don't specify cause that's dirtyyyy

fr imma cry T-T
I'll do a few questions of those just to make sure

 

[jane1820]

we just finished surds in the last week of school. Hbu?

last thing was trig (im catching up) N then financial math then our yearlies

When is ur yearly?

 

[Shavi Masee]

last thing was trig (im catching up) N then financial math then our yearlies

What do you mean by catching up?
I absolutely despise financial math. It's not hard but i just despisee it so much ughhh. fingers crossed we don't get to that topic before yearlies

Catching up as in i was not focused in class to do it so im self-studying it during the holidays
also yes financial is so annoying ugh

data and prob and thats it, last test was fucking non liner and trig, clutched tf up and came first in the grade excluding the accelerated class who are starting year 12 work next term

Nah probability is so bad i still cant believe i got 7/11 right in the test (for me thats a huge accomplishment idc) also measurment whenever i calculate the surface area of some prism (the ones without a formula) i ALWAYS get those wrong yuck
data is alr let the calculator do the work for u
non linear is definitely my favourite this whole yr it was so good so nice n so easy loved that topic so much i got 10/11 for that part in my last test AGH I LOVE NON LINEAR

 

[Shavi Masee]

calculate the surface area of some prism (the ones without a formula) i ALWAYS get those wrong yuck

OMG YEAH i don't like surface area and volume cuz the adding takes sooo long. It makes me do a stupid mistake when putting it into my calculator and then get everything wrong T-T

 

[jane1820]

non liner is good but trig sucks, trig equations and identities almost finished me but whoever made the test only put 2 questions of that stuff so bless them

I havent finished trig yet ill give u an update when im done

Gang random question but does anyone know someone who attends sefton high n if they take out of area applications? (Not selective just out of area) bc my friend goes there n she keeps telling me to move n tbh i want to move but selective applications closed n she doesnt know if they accept out of area

i dont think so coz they have a limit coz when my parents wanted to enrol my brother there last year they said no (we dont even live far but they said he has to go to his local school)

the school said we're out of the area and when my parents said they see students coming from far away the school said thats the selective stream

You know what sucks. When you keep on losing stuff, so you put these important things in a safe place where you won't lose it.
Except you forget where that safe place was T-T
