What trigonometric function relates the angle, the opposite side, and the hypotenuse of a right triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried and i got a negative number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so the sin (60) = NO / 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO = 24 * sin(60)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your calculator is probably in radian mode.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It either needs to be in degrees or you need to convert 60 to radians.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because sin(60) = sqrt(3) / 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which means 24 times that is 12sqrt(3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you. i changed it to degree mode. it was in radian mode

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Common error. :) Mine was too and I had to switch it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks. i gave you a medal

Take care.
