Find the sine ratio of angle Θ. Hint: Use the slash symbol ( / ) to represent the fraction bar, and enter the fraction with no spaces.

OpenStudy (danjs):

you mean opposite side length / hypotenuse length ?

OpenStudy (christina166):

yes

OpenStudy (christina166):

@DanJS is there any way you can help me and sorry for taking to long it wasn't letting me type

OpenStudy (danjs):

yeah, i don't get notified for anything.. .. it's all good

OpenStudy (danjs):

The sin of an angle in the right triangle is the ratio of the opposite side length over the hypotenuse side length sin(theta) = 12/13

OpenStudy (christina166):

Ok thanks !!! im taking a practice test and I really don't get this question

OpenStudy (danjs):

you have to remember the definition or image of how to get the sin value

OpenStudy (christina166):

omg thank you so much!!! im going to give you a medal. Can you help me with one more question though. Sorry for bothering you.

OpenStudy (danjs):

same for cosine and tangent

OpenStudy (danjs):

well tangent is built from sin and cos, but good to remember it is the opposite side over adjacent side

OpenStudy (danjs):

yeah no prob, ask away

OpenStudy (christina166):

Find the tangent ratio of angle Θ. Hint: Use the slash symbol ( / ) to represent the fraction bar, and enter the fraction with no spaces.

OpenStudy (danjs):

i just said what that is

OpenStudy (christina166):

So it would be 15/17, oh and yes thank you so much, I just read what you wrote above, sorry

OpenStudy (danjs):

remember these, opposite O , adjacent A and Hypotenuse H sin(a) = O/H cos(a) = A/H tan(a) = O/A

OpenStudy (danjs):

after a couple probs you just know where to look

OpenStudy (christina166):

Thank you so very much!!!! Your a GREAT helper!! :)

OpenStudy (danjs):

The tangent of that angle is opposite side over adjacent side 15/8

OpenStudy (danjs):

15/17 is actually the sine ratio, O/H

OpenStudy (christina166):

Ohhh ok, I get it now. Thanks!!
