Question

Medal anyone???

sin Θ =15/17 .
find cosΘ .

Answer 1

Draw a right triangle with angle theta

Answer 2

sine is opposite/hypotenuse

so when they say sin Θ =15/17, they mean the opposite side is 15 and the hypotenuse is 17

Answer 3

a2 + b2 = c2

Answer 4

what is the value of x?

Answer 5

but im lost from there

Answer 6

yeah you'd use the pythagorean theorem

Answer 7

a = 15
b = x
c = 17

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

15^2 + x^2 = 17^2

solve for x

Answer 8

so is the answer 8?

Answer 9

x = 8, yes

not the final answer though
