sin13=5/c, 5*sin13, c=5*sin13

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmmm to find 3rd side you should know one angle and one side sin = opposite over hyp right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the hypotenuse isn't known in this case

Nnesha (nnesha):

right i want u to take a few sec and think about is it sin 13 = 5 /c correct ? sin = opposite over hyp and we are looking at angle B which is 13

Nnesha (nnesha):

given is a which is 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it's not correct! :) I was looking at angle A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we can use tan77=b/5

Nnesha (nnesha):

well sin B = opposite over hyp but the opposite of angle B isn't given

Nnesha (nnesha):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but we can find out what angle b is.. it's 77 degrees

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1443995567775:dw| we don't konw what c equal to and we don't know what is B so you can't use sin for angle B
