OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

familiar wid SOH-CAH-TOA ?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good, whats the `sin` ratio ?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

opp/hyp

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[3^2+4^2=5^2\]and the multiple of this exact triple is\[6^2+8^2=10^2\] \[Sin=\frac{Opposite}{Hypotensue}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes so start by figuring out the opposite/adjacent/hypotenuse first

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

so with the triple 2*3 is 6 and 2*4 is 8 and 2*5 is 10 so 3 4 and 5 are the opp adj and hyp

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

i can choose whichever angle to do this?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

would it be 3/5?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes and 3/5 is right

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it works because angles dont change by scaling

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

And so do you notice any traps here in this problem that i could write?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

no traps, everything looks fine this time :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the little square box at the angle S corner clearly tells you that S is a right angle

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

So no traps for this particular problem

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

I think i really only have 3 more problems i need help with for now. Can you help me with them?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
