what did you get show your work :=)

Nnesha (nnesha):

remember these ? \[\rm sin \rm \theta = \frac{ opposite }{ hypotenuse }~~~~ \cos \theta = \frac{ adjacent }{ hypotenuse } ~~\tan \theta = \frac{ opposite }{ adjacent }\]

OpenStudy (hybrik):

There are two ways to do this

OpenStudy (hybrik):

One as @Nnesha said, two: You can use the ratios for 45:45:90,

OpenStudy (hybrik):

With the 45:45:90 method, the legs would be the same size, and the hypothenuse would be the same length of the leg multiplied by \[\sqrt{2}\]

Hybrik is on task.
