Question

Will fan and medal!
For the formula A^2+B^2=c^2
If I have sin (-sqrt3/3)
What would be my a,b, and c in the end?

Answer 1

Do you mean you have: \(\Large\rm\sin x=-\frac{\sqrt3}{3}\)
Something like that?

Answer 2

yes @zepdrix

Answer 3

Answer 4

There are usually two clever ways to setup your side relations :)
There are more options, but these are the most common way to do it.
(Note: The hypotenuse should ALWAYS be positive).

`Option 1` You can think of -sqrt3 as your opposite, and 3 as your hypotenuse.
`Option 2` You can rewrite the entire fraction over 1 like this \(\Large\rm \dfrac{-\sqrt{3}/3}{1}\) and think of your opposite as -sqrt3/3 and your hypotenuse as 1.

Answer 5

The first option is probably the most convenient though.
