Answer 5

easy peasy ;p

Answer 6

Help me through it? :)

Answer 7

What is the relationship of sides for sin?

Answer 8

Tan?

Answer 9

like how

tan = opposite/adjacent

what is it for sin and cos?

Answer 10

Im not sure

Answer 11

here is a bigger picture:

Answer 12

So the opposite is the hypotenuse?

Answer 13

opposite means the side opposite the angle

Answer 14

Oh okay and i the picture provided that would be C, right?

Answer 15

Im still not understanding what relationship do the ratios of sin x and cos y share.

Answer 16

These are my choices
The ratios are both identical (3 over 5 and 3 over 5).
The ratios are opposites (negative 3 over 5 and 3 over 5).
The ratios are reciprocals (3 over 5 and 5 over 3).
The ratios are both negative (negative 5 over 3 and negative 3 over 5).

Answer 17

so from one of my earlier drawings, it says that sin is opposite over hypotenuse

what is the side opposite of angle x?

Answer 18

what is the length of the side opposite angle x?
what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 19

Then ask:

What is the length of the side adjacent to angle y?
Is the hypotenuse the same?

Answer 20

what is the length of the side opposite angle x? 3
what is the length of the hypotenuse? 5
What is the length of the side adjacent to angle y? 4
Is the hypotenuse the same? no

Answer 21

The side adjacent to y is different than the side adjacent to x. Both have the same hypotenuse because they come from the same right triangle.

Answer 22

great job valpey :)

Answer 23

No entiendo

Answer 24

However, one of the sides is the hypotenuse in a right triangle, so the other side would be the adjacent side

Answer 25

I still am not grasping, Im sorry
