@satellite73

OpenStudy (nikato):

is this all that was given? what is your reference angle?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

yes that is all we were given @nikato

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sine = opposite/hypotenuse cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

|dw:1415247333288:dw| is this correct?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes correct, you beat me to it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

actually no I spoke too soon. The opposite and adjacent need to be swapped (see my drawing)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

your drawing has everything with angle B as the angle of reference

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

sin=20/25=4/5 cos=15/25=3/5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

very good sin(A) = 4/5 cos(A) = 3/5

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

thank you
