Question

can someone explain to me how to solve this? please. :( i was absent and i missed the lesson. now im behind.

Here it is. Find the missing side. Round to the nearest tenth. (picture below)

Answer 1

\[\sin\theta=\frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\]

Answer 2

With rectangular triangles the following rule applies when x and y are the two shorter sides and z the diagonal:
z^2=(x^2)+(y^2)

Answer 3

@Aqua666 Thats for pythagorean theorem, sin would be best for this.


@sourpatch_kids Are you familiar with sine, cosine, and tangent?

Answer 4

Yes I know, and since it applies only on triangles like the one shown above, it is best applied in this case.

Answer 5

though looking closer at the picture.. the 59, is that the angle of one of the corners??
