jim_thompson5910 · Answer

with respect to angle R, the opposite side is TS

|dw:1440467702221:dw|

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

the adjacent side is RT

|dw:1440467734346:dw|

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

and the hypotenuse is RS

the hypotenuse is always the longest side of a right triangle
it is always opposite the right angle

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

now use SOH CAH TOA

the SOH refers to 

S = sine
O = opposite
H = hypotenuse

basically sine(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

hopefully this sounds familiar from your lesson?

anonymous · Answer

Ok basically my school gives us a book and expects us to learn how to do things from it but thats not how i learn :/

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

do you see how I set up the opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse in the drawing?

anonymous · Answer

Yes that makes sense

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so 

sin(R) = opposite/hypotenuse = TS/RS = 8/10 = 4/5

anonymous · Answer

Yay thats what i got! thank you for helping! 
here im gonna start a new question cause i need to know how to find something else
