If you have a triangle with the lengths of 36, 60, and 48 what is the sine x?

Question

anonymous · Answer

where is x?

parthkohli · Answer

^^ Exactly, can you draw and mark x?

anonymous · Answer

I will attach a .jpg

parthkohli · Answer

If anyone doesn't know,
$$\LARGE \sin = {opp \over hyp}$$

anonymous · Answer

your triangle has sides that are a 3 - 4 - 5  right triangle, only each number has been multiplied by 12
so your answer will be either $\frac{3}{5}$ or $\frac{4}{5}$ depending on the length of the opposite side

anonymous · Answer

You have to put it into simple fraction form.

anonymous · Answer

what parth said. opposite over hypotenuse

parthkohli · Answer

$$\LARGE \sin(x) = {48 \over 60} = {4 \over 5}$$

parthkohli · Answer

If you want it in decimals too, it's 0.8 or in percentage it's 80%

anonymous · Answer

i have another sine cosine and tangent question. For triangle QPS what is the sine cosine and tangent of this triangle

parthkohli · Answer

Which angle please?

anonymous · Answer

again its in fraction form. Angle P

parthkohli · Answer

$$\LARGE \sin(p) = {5 \over 14} $$

$$\LARGE \tan(p) = {opposite \over adjacent} = {5 \over 9}$$

anonymous · Answer

I have a couple more questions if your willing!

parthkohli · Answer

I am., continue.

anonymous · Answer
