Have you considered the Law of Sines?

anonymous · Answer

no i havent but isnt that opposite hypotenuse?

anonymous · Answer

@tkhunny

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ a }{ \sin A }=\frac{ b }{ \sin B }=\frac{ c }{ \sin C }$$where a,b,c are sides and A,B,C are the angles opposite the corresponding sides

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ x }{ \sin 87 }=\frac{ 21 }{ \sin 37 }$$

tkhunny · Answer

You don't have any right angles.  "hypotenuse" doesn't mean anything for this triangle.

anonymous · Answer

cross multiply and solve for x using algebra

anonymous · Answer

ohk

anonymous · Answer

when you don't have a right triangle think law of sines or law of cosines

anonymous · Answer

ohk so i get rid of the 37 first right?.... by multiplying?

tkhunny · Answer

You calculate the values for sine and then you solve for the missing item.  In this case, it is only a simple multiplication.

anonymous · Answer

i multiply 21 and 87?

anonymous · Answer

which is 1827

tkhunny · Answer

No, there is not 87 or 37.  You must first calculate the sine of those angle measures.
