Answer 2

@majdishokri

Answer 3

SOH CAH TOA
\[\sin 32 = \frac{20}{x}\]

Answer 4

which is a,b, and c? @MeowMeow123

Answer 5

you have two way each other true but the best like dumbcow way

Answer 6

C is the one you're trying to find, and i don't think the a and b order matters

Answer 7

@MeowMeow123 , 32 is the angle not the 3rd side

Answer 8

\[32^{2}+20^{2}=x ^{2} \to x=\sqrt{32^{2}+20^{2}}\]

Answer 9

37.73

Answer 10

@majdishokri

Answer 11

@ilyautumn , am i wrong this is a simple pythagorean thm problem ?

Answer 12

you're right .

Answer 13

i'm just confused.

Answer 14

@dumbcow but you can solve like this i think your way ??

Answer 15

what a weird problem it actually turns out the 3rd side is basically 32 as well ....haha :)

Answer 16

\[\tan(32) = \frac{20}{y}\]
\[y = \frac{20}{\tan(32)} = 32.007\]

Answer 17

@ilyautumn
\[\sin(32) = \frac{20}{x}\]
\[x = \frac{20}{\sin(32)} = 37.742\]

Answer 18

thats pretty close to the answer that i got when i did it the other way
