OOh SIN LAWWWWWWW

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Want help with it again, or do you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin (angle)= opp/hyp opp=hyp*sin(angle)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or that...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll be needing as much help as possible with this question, please. (^_^;) I'm sort of struggling with this section in math. Sorry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's okay so here we go I'll explain it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sin x = opposite/hypotenuse right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So in this case sin43=a/26

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=26 *sin (43)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes; I remember SOH-CAH-TOA.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I worked out the calculations that both of you provided me. I ended up with 17.73...rounded it to 18...am I doing this right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yay! Okay then, I guess that that's solved! Thank you, both of you, so much for your help! (^_^)
