Question

I'm dying here, someone help!!

Find the sine ratio of angle Θ. Hint: Use the slash symbol ( / ) to represent the fraction bar, and enter the fraction with no spaces.

Answer 1

is this trigonometry?

Answer 2

lord no, geometry. lol

Answer 3

i am dying too !

Answer 4

lol im so serious @satellite73 this stuff confuses me so muchhhhhh.

Answer 5

pretty sure this is trig

Answer 6

\[\sin(\theta)=\frac{\text{opposite }}{\text{hypotenuse}}\]

Answer 7

so once again, what is the "opposite" side here ?

Answer 8

12/13 <--the answer. yeah, its just how do you know when to do which method.. ):

Answer 9

yes, that is the answer

Answer 10

so now a pop quiz
what is sine?
A) opposite / hypotenuse
B) adjacent / hypotenuse
C) opposite / adjacent
D) thing 1 / thing 2

Answer 11

Oh lawd....

Answer 12

that is the whole point of these exercises, to get you to know these
an btw it really is trig

Answer 13

WHY AM I DOING THIS IN GEOMETRY D:

Answer 14

i guess because it involves triangles
but it is much much easier than the geometry you were doing before
just write the stupid ratio and get it over with

Answer 15

Do I read sass? lol okay okay, have patience with me!!!!!

Answer 16

also i am wondering, is this on line or did a teacher give you this? i have a serious problem with your picture

Answer 17

online.

Answer 18

a. 12/13
b. 5/13.
c 12/5
d.... uh?

Answer 19

those are the ratios, yes, but you fail because you did not read the instructions
it asked which one was sine!!

Answer 20

I give up on life.

Answer 21

it should be sine is opposite / hypotenuse

Answer 22

how about cosine?

Answer 23

...

Answer 24

all of it is confusing.. anyways, i'll just call my teacher and harass him. lol

Answer 25

there are three things you need to memorize, or write on a piece of paper
sine is opp/hyp
cosine is adj/hyp
tangent is opp/adj

that is all

Answer 26

where in the problem will it tell me to do which? because problem three and four look EXACTLY the same.

Answer 27

the triangle does look the same, yes
but one asks for cosine and the other asks for sine
they are different ratios

Answer 28

omg im so stupid. I didn't see that if said sine or cosine in the problem. I read too fast. thank you so much for you patience. you're the best helper ever.

Answer 29

lol your welcome
invoice is in the mail
and tell your math teacher that a line segment of length 12 is more than two times as long as a line segment of length 5, so that picture is stupid and confusing

Answer 30

lolol sat always hate when the images are not to scale :)
really ruffles his feathers

Answer 31

yes, and there is good reason for it

Answer 32

I hate FLVS. ):
For question 5, I got A. am I right?
If the sin 30° is 1 over 2, then the cos ____° = _____.

60° ; 1 over 2

30° ; square root 2 over 2

60° ; square root 3 over 2

30° ; 1

Answer 33

i hate flvs too
that is a really dumb question
"if sin(30) is 1/2" is like saying "if 1 + 1 = 2"

Answer 34

in any case they probably want you to write
cos(60) =1/2

Answer 35

"If 1+1 = 2, then 2 + __ = __ "
lol. ya it's worded poorly :)

Answer 36

ambiguous.

Answer 37

i can't begin to tell you how bad this question is
math teacher in florida are on crack and should be summarily fired
all of them

Answer 38

THANK YOU.

Answer 39

fortunately there is only one right answer, so put
\[\cos(60)=\frac{1}{2}\]

Answer 40

I was right?! lawd.

Answer 41

well im heading to bed, thank you so much @satellite73 . You're great.

Answer 42

i just wrote FLVS and told them this question sucks

Answer 43

me too
gnight

Answer 44

and your welcome
