@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please you have to solve this equation: \[\frac{e}{{\sin \left( {61} \right)}} = \frac{p}{{\sin \left( {45} \right)}},\quad p = 15.7\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: \[e = \sin \left( {61} \right) \cdot \frac{{15.7}}{{\sin \left( {45} \right)}}\]

@MARC_

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk what to do to get the answer :c

@iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

Find sin(61) and sin(45)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in my calculator i got sin(61) = 0.87

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin(45) = 0.70

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this correct?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Kind of

OpenStudy (igreen):

But 0.70 should actually be rounded to 0.71

OpenStudy (igreen):

Plug those back in and finish solving.

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(e = 0.87 \times \dfrac{15.7}{0.71}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e = 13.659/0.6177

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e = 22.1 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk...its wrong can u plzzz help?? @iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(e = 0.87 \times \dfrac{15.7}{0.71}\) Divide 15.7 / 0.71 first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

19.2 ?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yeah, I got something like that.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Your answer should be C, 19.2 is closest to that.

OpenStudy (igreen):

And I tried it with longer decimals of sin(61) and sin(45) and I got 19.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks so much :)

OpenStudy (igreen):

No problem.
