Answer 2

its adjacent/opposite so wouldn't it be 24/10 ?

Answer 3

lol what?
10 is its adjacent side :)
Adjacent means just that, the side right next to it... (which isn't the hypotenuse)
(We're talking angle B, right? :) )

Answer 4

yes lol

Answer 5

Well, its adjacent side is the 10-side, not 24, which lies opposite it...

Answer 6

so its 10/24 then ?

Answer 7

Yup :)

Answer 8

you don't have to solve it do you ? :o

Answer 9

That's it, 10/24

You might want to reduce to lowest terms, however :P

Answer 10

by dividing right ?

Answer 11

By whatever method that suits you, 10/24 is just 5/12 :)

Answer 12

okay thanks(:
