hey can someone show me how I can Calculate the sine, cosine, and tangent for each of the following angles. a. 30° b. 80° c. 15°

hartnn (hartnn):

80 degrees would be interesting, can u use calculator??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeea

hartnn (hartnn):

can u input sin and cos in your calculator like can u find sin 30 from your calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooop l dnt have that kinda calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just look online for a sine cos tan chart

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the sinee for 30 degres would b 0.5 right? but how is it calculated is what l am tryna fig

you know what a 30-60-90 triangle is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me tell you anyways it's triangle with those degree measures and the sides of a triangle with those measures always has a ratio of \[1-\sqrt{3}-2\] in a triangle, the side opposite the smallest angle is always the smallest side so in a 30-60-90 triangle, that smallest side is 1. and since sine is opposite over hypotenuse, sine of 30 is 1/2 or .5. There might be some formula for finding the sine cos and tan but it wouldn't be useful

I don't know if that really answers your question, but it was hard work writing that. I'm exhausted now.
