What is sin c? if necessary round your answer to two decimal places

@SmoothMath
To work with Sine, Cosine, and Tangent, you first need to know their definitions. |dw:1371774217444:dw| Sin(angle) = \(\Large \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\) Cos(angle) = \(\Large \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\) Tan(angle) = \(\Large \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}\)
so i just do opposite over hypotenuse
Correct. Make sure you're careful about identifying which side is the hypotenuse, which side is opposite from the angle, and which side is adjacent to the angle.
Do you know which side is the hypotenuse?
from my triangle it would be the side that is 17.46
and the opposite is 7
@SmoothMath
Correct =) SO what is sine of the angle?
.40091
and it will stay the same because 0 is less than 5 so we will not round up
wont it stay the same? because 0 and 1 are less than 5 so we will not round up
@SmoothMath
Your answer should have 2 decimal places. .40091 has 5 decimal places.
so would it be .40
Correct.
