Question

Find y.

Answer 1

6 or 10

Answer 2

sin 30 = x / 15
find x = ?

Answer 3

x = 0.5 * 15 = 7.5

Answer 4

sin 60 = y / 7.5
y = sin 60 * 7.5 = 6.5

Answer 5

So how would I do this if I have to show it in a fraction with a square root?

Answer 6

find z using pythagoras theorem
z^2 = 15^2 - x^2
then find y using
sin 30 = y / z
y = z/2

Answer 7

z = sqrt(168.75)

Answer 8

So wait what you're saying is that I need to solve for both y and z and then divide?

Answer 9

yes, that's because u want to use a fraction and a sqrt

there are several ways to solve this, not just one method, depends how u want to approach it

Answer 10

makes sense?

Answer 11

Getting there.. so what method would you prefer or what method would be the best?

Answer 12

if they ask you to give the answer as a fraction and SQRT then use a method similar to the above with SIN, COS or TAN and use Pythagoras theorem

Answer 13

Okay. so Z= 2^42 right

Answer 14

dear algebra, your x is never coming back, and dont ask y

Answer 15

what?
