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

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?

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?

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?
