Last one I need help on! The figure below shows a triangular piece of cloth: What is the length of the portion BC of the cloth? 6 cos 32° 6 sin 32° cos 32 degrees divided by 6 sin 32 degrees divided by 6

So what would you use sine, cosine or tangent to solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would you use Sine? @nelsonjedi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why sine?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because you use Sine when it's a right triangle and only need to know one side of the triangle and its opposite angle when using the sine formula? @nelsonjedi

I'm thinking its 6 sin 32, so B.

So sin 32 = BC / 6 correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So Sin 32 x 6 = BC very good
