HELP WITH GEOMETRY!! SOH-CAH-TOA Use the image below to answer the following question. Find the value of sin x° and cos y°. What relationship do the ratios of sin x° and cos y° share? A right triangle is shown with one leg measuring 4 and another leg measuring 3. The angle across from the leg measuring 3 is marked x degrees and the angle across from the leg measuring 4 is marked y degrees.

try drawing it for more easy understanding

OpenStudy (4815162342):

okay

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so do you know sin x = ? using sides what side divide what side ?

OpenStudy (4815162342):

3/4?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

you dont know it right

OpenStudy (4815162342):

no

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

the sin law say sin x = opposite side divide hypothenuse - yes ?

OpenStudy (4815162342):

yes

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok using this how can you rewriting than the sin x = ?

OpenStudy (4815162342):

sin(x)=cosine(y)?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

using what i have wrote above - using these sides - opposite side divide hypothenuse

OpenStudy (4815162342):

I do not understand

OpenStudy (ibrafacts):

i remember this

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok - do you know the pythagora s theorem ?

OpenStudy (4815162342):

a^2+b^2=c^2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes so with these knowladge can you calcule the length of hypothenuse of this right triangle ?

OpenStudy (4815162342):

3/4

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

or without calcules do you know what are pythagora s numbers ?

OpenStudy (4815162342):

No

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@ibrafacts can you help for medal in this question please ?

OpenStudy (4815162342):

Do you know that answer?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than one side has length 3 and the other side has length 4 how many will be the length of hypothenuse ? using pythagora s theorem - can you calcule it now ?

OpenStudy (4815162342):

What is a b and c?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes using them

OpenStudy (4815162342):

is it 3^3+4^2=c^2?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

exactly so in this case c= ?

OpenStudy (4815162342):

25?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

not c^2 so just c= ?

OpenStudy (4815162342):

5

OpenStudy (ibrafacts):

yeah sure i can help

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes right so remember than in case of a right triangle there are one side length is 3 and the other side length is 4 so than the length of hypothenuse will be sure 5 these mean pythagora s numbers - ok. ?

OpenStudy (4815162342):

So would I write as the answer: You would use the Pythagorean theorm and plug in which will give you the answer of 5.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

no - the answer is other - first you know now that the length of hypothenuse is 5 so and using this you can rewrite the law of sinus in case of sin x = ?

OpenStudy (ibrafacts):

sin=opp/hyp

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

just use these above wrote yes ibrafacts exactly

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

but please you give possibilitie to collaborate the asker - ok. ?

OpenStudy (ibrafacts):

okay
