Question

For the displayed triangle, provide the following value.

Round your answer to two decimal places.

c = ?

Answer 1

@iPwnBunnies Can you do this?

Answer 2

Are you familiar with cos, sin, and tan?

Answer 3

Yes, but I'm not great at it, so..

Answer 4

Kk. We're given some angle, the side opposite of the angle, and we need to find the hypotenuse. Do you know if we need to use cos, sin, or tan for this problem?

Answer 5

sin?

Answer 6

Yes. :D And...
\[\sin(x) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\]

Answer 7

I'm lost.. would you do 43/90?

Answer 8

I thought you use the pythagorean theorem..

Answer 9

We can't use Pythagorean Theorem, because we're not given 2 sides. Just an angle and a side.

Answer 10

Okay, so what do I do...?

Answer 11

Well, 43 degrees is the angle, 4 is the opposite side, and c is the hypotenuse.
\[\sin(43) = \frac{4}{c}\]
Solve for c, use a calculator.

Answer 12

c = 10.75?

Answer 13

Err, no. Try again. :3
\[c = \frac{4}{\sin(43)}\]

Answer 14

I don't think I'm doing this right.. I got 0.09

Answer 15

No, you're not. XD
Hmm, the sine of 43 degrees is 0.681

Answer 16

\[c = \frac{4}{0.681}\]

Answer 17

5.87?

Answer 18

Yesh.

Answer 19
