1. sin c = 12/37
2. cos C = 35/37
3. tan C = 12/35

anonymous · Answer

12 is the opposite side, 37 the hypotenuse and 35 the adjacent side.  SOH CAH TOA stands for sin = opposite over hypotenuse, cos = adjacent over hypotenuse and tan = opposite over adjacent, Answers are as Directrix has indicated.

@  Burnnote --> If you are beginning to study Trig, you will need to learn these ratios because they are fundamental. Mnemonics sometimes help as in Soh Cah Toa.

Ohhh okay, thank you so much cause I'm having a hard time with this:/

directrix · Answer

S o h  --> Sine is opposite leg / hypotenuse

C ah --> Cosine is adjacent leg / hypotenuse

T o a --> Tangent is opposite leg / adjacent leg

Some people remember this as "Some old horse caught another horse taking oats away." 

Note that these relationships are defined within a right triangle.
