Answer 2

Do you know
SOHCAHTOA?

Answer 3

Nope. 😪

Answer 4

SOHCAHTOA is a way to memorize which sides make the ratios of sine, cosine and tangent.

Answer 5

okay katelyn what is the height

Answer 6

basically katelyn what im saying sin=b/h

Answer 7

Whaleee, the height of the triangles sides are both 6.71m I believe. The link I put has the picture of it if you need to refer to it. 👌😄

Answer 8

SOH: \(\sin \theta = \dfrac{opp}{hyp} \)

CAH: \(\cos \theta = \dfrac{adj}{hyp} \)

TOA: \(\tan \theta = \dfrac{opp}{adj} \)

The initials S (sine), C (cosine), T (tangent), O (opposite leg), A (adjacent leg), and H (hypotenuse) are used in the mnemonic above.

Answer 9

Mhm

Answer 10

You are asked for the sine.
Looking above, or remembering the SOH part of SOHCAHTOA, you see that

\(\sin \theta = \dfrac{opp}{hyp} \)

Answer 11

do you know what the answer is?

Answer 12

Yes, opposite over hypotenuse

Answer 13

Now look at angle D.
For angle D, which side is the opposite leg?
Which side is the hypotenuse?

Answer 14

no..

Answer 15

do you know what the base if a triangle is?

Answer 16

Oh crap @mathstudent55 I totally forgot...oh.....ok so I get you

Answer 17

Fill in the blanks:

Answer 18

And @bdavis07 uhhh, the base? i think since one side is 3 the other must be 3 so its 6 and @mathstudent55 ok, hold up let me think.....ok 6/6.71 would be sin

Answer 19

no no no. base is three and the height is 6 so b/h

Answer 20

base over height

Answer 21

The 3 m base of the small triangle to the left, or the 6 m base of the entire triangle, is not used in this problem.
All we need here is the opposite leg and the hypotenuse since the sine ratio is the ratio of the opposite leg to the hypotenuse.

Answer 22

OKKKKK oh my goodness thank you so much!!! Honestly, I didn't even read it....I was just trying to get the answer fast....maybe I'm to honest...aha...lol thanks. I'm in summer school so this stuff is pretty overwhelming because i've forgotten a lot and i'm not that good at geometry..Thankyou both very much. 😄

Answer 23

6.71 and 3

Answer 24

Don't get overwhelmed. Just study a lot, and ask lots of questions. That's how you learn.

Answer 25

your welcome katelyn

Answer 26

Thanks for the advice 😄👌
