whats the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the approximate value of sin c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there a picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a right triangle and the numbers given are 7 16 and 17.46

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need to know where they go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it wont let me copy :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to know sohcahtoa. sin x= opp/hyp, cos x= adj/hyp, tan x= opp/adj; S=O/H, C=A/H, T=O/A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for angle C, the opposite side is 7, the hypotenuse is 17.46. therefore, sin C = opp/hyp, which means sin C = 7/17.46.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we find the angle through the arc operations; arcsin(7/17.46)=C. all you need to do at this point is plug into your calculator and get a value. considering the answer choices, i'd say you should put your calculator in radians, so you get a radians angle.
