Answer 2

I am not the best at full sentences, sorry
but have you learned Trigonometry yet?
sin, cos, tan

Answer 3

Yes :)
SOH = Sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse
CAH = cos(x) = adjacent/hypotenuse
TAO = tan(x) = adjacent/opposite

Answer 4

Then which one should we use to find the distance between the sun and the moon?

Answer 5

Would that be TAO?

Answer 6

we are trying to find the Hypotenuse
right?

but TAO does not have H in it...

Answer 7

Then, CAH?

Answer 8

That's right! :)

Answer 9

Alright, so I don't have to find the answer, right?

Answer 10

I just need a sentence to explain how they would find it..?

Answer 11

That is right :)

Answer 12

Alright, I'm gonna complete the sentence, can you check it once Im done?

Answer 13

of course :)

Answer 14

Alright, this is what I have...

By taking those 2 measurements, a scientist can use the CAH (cos(x) = adjacent/hypotenuse) to find the hypotenuse, which would be the distance between the Sun and the Moon.

Answer 15

Anything you think I should change?

Answer 16

adjacent = y

Answer 17

hypotenuse = y / cos(x)

Answer 18

Should I put that in? :P

Answer 19

I think that should be good enough ^_^

Answer 20

Alright, so I'll leave it how I put it :D
