Help with Sine/Cosine/Tangent?
The problem I'm working on is: Part 1: Make up an angle measure for angle C and a length for one of the sides (AB, BC, or CA). Part 2: Use a trigonometric ratio (sine, cosine, or tangent) to solve for one of the other side lengths. For full credit, please provide both the ratio and work used to solve for the missing side length. Round your solution to the nearest hundredth. -- I've decided that I would like to use Angle C = 30 AB = 50 But I can't figure out how to figure out which trig ratio to use to solve for the other side lengths.
SOHCAHTOA
Yeah, I get that. But I'm not sure how to begin solving? I get the basics of SOHCAHTOA, but I'm not sure how to apply it to my problem, if that makes sense at all.
