danjs · Answer

Do you remember the definitions for sine and cosine for a right triangle?

danjs · Answer

Sin(x) = opposite side / hypotenuse

cos(x) = adjacent side / hypotenuse

danjs · Answer

This problem, they ask for side BC,  which is opposite of the 32 angle

You know the angle and the hypotenuse, and you want to figure the opposite side...

danjs · Answer

The sine will do that, fill in the values
