What is the length of the hypotenuse of triangle ABC?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hypotenuse = AB right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can find AC using trignometry what do u get for AC?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm not sure how to find that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why not... \[\sin \theta = \frac{opp}{hypotenus}\] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin 30 = 10/ AC?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin30=.5 correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so .5=10/AC?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would AC equal in that case?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin 60 = AC/AB ? right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i dont know what those equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@thushananth01

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin 60 = opposite / hypotenus where opposite to sin 60 = AC and hypotenuse to sin 60 = AB( which uve got to find)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, so sin30=10/AC correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would AC=20?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :) now use tht AC to find AB?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok, is there an equation i should use?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin 60 = AC/AB

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got x=23.1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thts AB(hypotenuse of ABC triangle)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 23.1 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@thushananth01

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what leg would the shorter leg be of triangle ABC?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

BC right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how could i find the length of that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 3.1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wrking?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

show the working?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well if a^2+b^2=c^2 then i thought maybe it was 3.1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me how else to find it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b^2 = c^2 - a^2 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then ur right :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so 3.1? thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the longer leg would be 20 then correct?
