Alright, this time let's see if you can set up and solve the problem on your own =) I'll help you through the steps you're unsure of.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk how :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to start?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, decide which side you know and which side you want to know. Hypotenuse? Opposite? Adjacent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i wanna know wat b is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great, but how does that side relate to the angle you know? Is it the hypotenuse? Is it opposite from the angle? Or is it adjacent to the angle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, Raz. That last guy just handed you the answer, basicallly. I'm not gonna do that. i want you to be able to do these problems on your own. So we're gonna go through the steps. You ready?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope , i have tomorrow to get done or ill fail so i dont rlly have time to go through anything

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here's the first big thing you have to be able to do. If you have a right triangle and you know one of the angles, you need to be able to label the three sides as HYPOTENUSE, OPPOSITE from the angle and ADJACENT. Hypotenuse will always be the longest side. Opposite is across from the angle. Adjacent is next to the angle.

Okay, sorry Raz. If you don't want real help, I'm out.

bye
