yup ok so I shouldn't have told you the function right away since it gives it away but its fine lol. We know that sintheta = opp/hyp now use this algebraically to find the hyp.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
9/x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes but what do you do with the sintheta and the angle :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't know haha
OpenStudy (anonymous):
alright so you know that sintheta = opp/hype right, now you just do it algebraically => hyp = opp/sintheta where theta = angle, now you just need to plug in the numbers, don't over think this too much, it's not as bad as you think it is.

That's because you're just using 4 digits lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You're final answer is 14.3. Just make sure you understand the concept.
