Answer 1

i dont know what im doin

Answer 2

use sine

Answer 3

sin(x) = 15/18

Answer 4

i get .83 this dosent make sense

Answer 5

sin(x) = 5/6
x = ?
You should be able to get that from the sine table.

Answer 6

is it hypoth / adjacent ?

Answer 7

Opposite side dividided by hypotenuse = sin(x).

Answer 8

and its .83

Answer 9

Correct. sin(x) is 0.83. Now, you need to find the value of x (according to the problem statement).

Answer 10

5/6 = 0.833333

Answer 11

its either 34 50 56 or 40 degrees

No. I just opened the calculator and asked it what is the value of sin(56). It said 0.829 something.

oh ok i see what you did now

Answer 16

thank you

Answer 17

You should use a table of values for the sine curve to look up, or a calculator. No easy way to memorize all possible values of sine.
