Answer 5

np any time

Answer 6

There is no way that is correct @Bookworm14

Answer 7

how do u know i am in

Answer 8

10 grade

Answer 9

The hypotenuse CANNOT BE SMALLER than a leg

Answer 10

the triangle is not drawn to scale so it will look wrong

Answer 11

it says right in the image *not drawn to scale*

Answer 12

see she gets it

Answer 13

Scale doesn't matter. The hypotenuse as a concept cannot be smaller than a leg

Answer 14

I know, but that is what the math came out to??

Answer 15

no the hypotenuse does matter i give you that but i know math

Answer 16

Answer 17

@LegendarySadist is right. Hypotenuse is always larger than other two sides. Let's try to do this together.

What does sin 35 give you in this figure?

Answer 18

0.6 (rounded)

Answer 19

I mean take opp side/hypotenuse in figure.

Answer 20

16/x

Answer 21

Good so 0.6=16/x

Can you solve for x now?

Answer 22

0.6x = 16
16 / 0.6 = 26.7

Answer 23

Well done.

Answer 24

but that is not an answer choice?

Answer 25

Remember. You approximated before you got the final answer!!

Answer 26

Try plugging in real value of sin 35 instead of 0.6

Answer 27

27.9 ?

but here is how i am being taught, just so you knw where my mind is on this

sin = opp/hyp
opp * sin (angle) = hyp

16 * sin (35) = 9.2

Answer 28

SEE THIS:

a=b/c
ac=b

NOW THIS:

sin = opp/hyp
sin *hyp=opp

Answer 29

27.9 looks good :)

Answer 30

ok, thank you!
