help pleaseee medal, fan, and testimonial asap pleaseeee
What is sin in terms of the sides? Is it opposite side/ hypotenuse adjacent side/hypotenuse opposite side/ adjacent side
And similarly what is it for cos?
Use the pythagorean theorem to get your hypotenuse Your 2 legs are the lengths of 12 and 5 12^2+5^2=c^2 solve for C Then just remember that sin=opp/hyp and that cos=adj/hyp
Oh okay so would C be: 169?
Right, now take the square root of that
13?
so the hypotenuse would be: sqrt 13 correct or wrong?
Just 13, not the sqrt of 13
oh okay. so Sin x = 5/13 Cos y = 5/13 they are both the same?
Yes, corrrect :)
how would i explain the relationship between the ratios though? i know that they are the same but that's about how much i can put into words lol.
Well, saying that they are the same sounds perfectly fine. Just write that the sin and cos of the opposing angles are identical.
As the adjacent side of angle Y is the same as the opposite side of angle x
all good?
Sounds good thank you!!
