Geometry help for fan and medal :)

OpenStudy (dontknowdontcare):

can you help @Mehek14

Mehek (mehek14):

sin = \(\dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\)

Mehek (mehek14):

cos = \(\dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\)

Mehek (mehek14):

So find the numbers which you can plug in for those ^^^

OpenStudy (dontknowdontcare):

sin = \[8\div6\]

OpenStudy (dontknowdontcare):

wait no nvm

Mehek (mehek14):

sin x is opposite over hypotenuse opposite of sin x is 6 hypotenuse. . you find that first

OpenStudy (dontknowdontcare):

how would you find the hypotenuse

Mehek (mehek14):

\(6^2+8^2=x^2\)

OpenStudy (dontknowdontcare):

I'm sorry I'm totally lost here would you square before you add?

Mehek (mehek14):

square first

OpenStudy (dontknowdontcare):

okay so 100=x^2

Mehek (mehek14):

so \(\sqrt{100}=10\) that means hypotenuse is 10

Mehek (mehek14):

so sin x is opposite over hypotenuse or \(\dfrac{6}{10}=\dfrac{3}{5}\)

OpenStudy (dontknowdontcare):

okay so sin x = 3/5 and then cos y = 6/10 or 3/5 aswell?

Mehek (mehek14):

Yes same thing

OpenStudy (dontknowdontcare):

yay thank you so much!

Mehek (mehek14):

You're welcome :)
