Answer 5

yeah but it mean where in the triangle is \(\theta\) ?

Answer 6

my bad

Answer 7

oh actually it doesn't matter, since the only one that has the hypotenuse in the denominator is \(\frac{12}{13}\)

Answer 8

ok good, so you have "opposite over hypotenuse" is \(\frac{36}{39}\)
reduce

Answer 9

I am but it doesn't give me the right answer :o

Answer 10

36/2 = 18
39/2 = 19.5

Answer 11

try dividing by the common factor of 3 rather than 2

Answer 12

ohhhh 36/3 = 12
39/3 = 13 so 12/13 ? (:

Answer 13

yeah, since 39 is not even dividing by 2 will not help your cause

okay I got it thank you!
