of what?? is this all the given?

anonymous · Answer

Yes an EFG triangle is given with F being a right angle, G being 50 degrees, and line EG being adjacent to G. EF is opposite.

anonymous · Answer

right triangle so apply trigonometry.sin(50)=12/EG..now use your calculator

anonymous · Answer

The only problem is that my calculator isn't capable of this type of math. And they also didn't really show me how to do this on a calculator.

anonymous · Answer

windows has a calculator with trig. fcts...

anonymous · Answer

Okay, how would I enter this into the calculator?

anonymous · Answer

sin(50)=12/EG=>EG=12/sin(50)  so 12/50 sin

anonymous · Answer

I typed all that in and received no answer. Do you mind telling me the answer? This is the only question I am having trouble with
