hypotenuse is always positive, so you have there a -5, on the III Quadrant the "y" coordinate is negative

okay so now i just need to solve for adj
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
now using the pythagorean theorem, just find the "x" side
once you have all 3 guys
adjacent side, that is "x"
opposite side, that is "y"
and the hypotenuse, which is 8
you can pretty much find all the identities

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
just keep in mind that, the pythagorean theorem only gives the root, not a sign
you're in the III Quadrant, in the III Quadrant, "y" and "x" are both negative
y = -5 as given
and "x" will also be negative
