Question

Help? I don't know what I'm doing wrong...
Use the table for sine values, and find x to the nearest tenth.
(My Answer)
x (Approximately) = ? 1.0

Answer 1

sin(48)=10/x

Answer 2

Is this what you did?

Answer 3

oh wait, i think i may know now, heres my work
sin 48* = x/10
sin 48* = 0.7431
0.7431 = x/10
x = 10(0.7431)
0.1

Answer 4

No, what is sin?

Answer 5

sin is opposite over hypotenuse and could one of you help me with my question please

Answer 6

i could try sry i was away from the computor when u asked what sin was

Answer 7

i hav instructions for the lesson and the definition they gave me for Sine ratio was: with respect to an acute angle of a right triangle, the ratio formed by the side opposite the acute angle over the hypotenuse.

Answer 8

i looked over ur problem and i dont really understand what to do on that either sorry :(

Answer 9

Okay, sin is opposite over hypotenuse. Sin 48= opposite/ hypotenuse. What's the opposite of sin 48?

Answer 10

10 right?

Answer 11

Yup!

Answer 12

This is your mistake.

Answer 13

so that would be
sin 48* = 10/x

Answer 14

Exactly :)

Answer 15

okay so the problem would be:
sin 48* = 10/x
sin 48* = 0.7431
0.7431 = 10/x
10 = x(0.7431)
and then i divide?

Answer 16

Yes

Answer 17

k i got 0.07431 so that goes to 0.1 when rounded right?

Answer 18

How did you get that? O.o!

Answer 19

i divided 0.07431 by 10 and i got 0.07431 and i rounded to the nearest tenth and since 7 is a high number i rounded it to 0.1

Answer 20

yepp :D

Answer 21

awesome lol
