unklerhaukus · Answer

sine = opposite side/ hypotenuse

cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse

unklerhaukus · Answer

We are considering angle X.

What side length is opposite to angle X?

unklerhaukus · Answer

What "side length" is opposite to the angle X

anonymous · Answer

Cosine is:
Opposite over Hypotenuse. The side opposite X is sqrt 119. The hypotenuse is 12. That makes:
sqrt 119/12

anonymous · Answer

119sqrt is the side length opposite to X

unklerhaukus · Answer

Cosine is NOT Opposite over Hypotenuse

cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse.

@UnkleRhaukus just keep helping don't mind him if he's giving false information

anonymous · Answer

Yes, I am really sorry. Sine is opposite/hypotenuse...I did not mean to confuse you. I am trying to remember this off the top of my head.

unklerhaukus · Answer

What is the length of the hypotenuse ?

anonymous · Answer

12

unklerhaukus · Answer

so 


sin X =  opp / hypo = √119  / 12

unklerhaukus · Answer

cos X = adj/hypo =

anonymous · Answer

Sine= Opposite/Hypotenuse= (square root of 119)/12
Cosine=Adjacent/Hypotenuse=5/12
I am truly sorry for messing up. In order to cause less confusion, I won't try to explain it. UnkleRhaukus is doing a good job of that. I just wanted you guys to know that I was able to get the right answer.  :)

anonymous · Answer
