Need help with ratios and stuff medal and fan.

Answer 1

Do you know sohcahtoa?

Answer 2

A way of remembering how to compute the sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle. SOH stands for Sine equals Opposite over Hypotenuse.

Answer 3

Right. And so do you know what cosine represents?

Answer 4

idk y but im still herer and it shows somtimes that i get off this question but im not just saying. And the trigonometric function that is equal to the ratio of the side adjacent to an acute angle

Answer 5

Well, it's adjacent/hypotenuse. And can you see which side is adjacent to \(\theta~?\)

Answer 6

yea its on the acute angle

Answer 7

And you know which side is the hypotenuse, right?

Answer 8

yea its the bc

Answer 9

So if you know the adjacent and hypotenuse, you just have the put them in the cosine ratio.
