find the height of the triangle

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

|dw:1420224277859:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sin(Angle)=\frac{ Opposite }{ Hypotenuse }\]

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

sin(20)=x/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now solve for x.

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

3.4 rounded

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You found x :)

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

so i did it right :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In this case x is also one of the 3 heights of the triangle.

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From the perspective of how the triangle is given to you, x is the height they ask you to look for.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So no need to find the other 2.
