Trigonometry question!

sin=perpendicular/hypotenuse cos=base/hypotenuse tan=perpendicular/base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right off the bat, we can see that this is a 30-60-90 triangle, giving us the angles of the triangle.

I'm sorry, I just don't know how to do this...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry too. I feel there is not enough information given. But I am sure a guy who understands this better would be able to help you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, thanks though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I just don't understand what to do lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i'll explain

|dw:1435259509518:dw| in this triangle, if i take angle A, then perpendicular is x and base is y so , sinA=x/z and sinB=y/z (because when we take angle B , y becomes perpendicular and x becomes base)
