This is just a 3,4,5 triangle with sin =3/5 and cos = 4/5. Zero.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did u do that estudier? can u pls tell me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First I did all the usual things, substitution, cross multiplication, trig things and I always had a theta in the answer. Then I thought about triangles and I saw almost straight away that a 3,4,5 Pythagorean triangle was the way to the answer (I should have thought of it sooner because there is a 3,4,5 in the question:-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how will it be a part of the triangle? i can't find a connection..pls help
