Question

given a right triangle corresponding to:
sin(θ) = 5/6
Use Pythagorean Theorem to determine the third side and then find the tan(θ).

Answer 1

i have no clue where to even start...

Answer 2

Well sin is opposite side/hypotenuse. So that should give you a hint

Answer 3

oh does that mean that opp=5 and hyp=6?

Answer 4

Mhhhm

Answer 5

So now you can set up 5^2+b^2=6^2 and find your adjacent side and fina tan (opposite/adjacent)

Answer 6

oh okay so adj = sqrt11?

Answer 7

Yerp.
