hartnn (hartnn):

how did u get b as that?

hartnn (hartnn):

try to find sin A you won't find b there at all :P

OpenStudy (ac3):

use tangent to find side b

OpenStudy (ac3):

doesn't matter which angle you pick you'll get it right either way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so there's my mistake,.. tan82=5/b

OpenStudy (ac3):

just remember tangent= opp/adj

hartnn (hartnn):

yep, thats correct find b from there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b=5tan(82)

OpenStudy (ac3):

so b = 5/tan(82)
