Do you have an example?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No, I'm just teaching myself about it. I'm wondering how to solve things like sine equations in triangles.
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
depends on the context

\[
r\sin(\theta)=x

This is the first fundamental thing about sin you must understand.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Side of triangle / sin opposite angle= another side of triangle / sin opposite angle
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You must also know how cos and tan works as well in this respect.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah, like that. If one side was a square root, ex. square root of 23, how would you solve that? Lets say line AB was 4 and BC was 11, and AC was the sq root of 23?

Is it a right triangle?

Yes.

Those numbers do not make a right triangle if you do Pythagorean's theorem.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Haha I'm sorry. I'm just trying to figure out how to work sine equations. What would fit the right triangle?
