Answer 5

Alright. What you need to do is find S and put it in your calculator with the symbol [\sin]\

Answer 6

Oh my ^^;

Answer 7

Hmmm

Answer 8

I have a graphing calculator

Answer 9

Use google to use the calculator

Answer 10

Okie so how do I do this
Or better yet what do I do first

Answer 11

Alright, do you know the degree of the other angles?

Answer 12

68 and 60, right?

Answer 13

It looks like those are the lines measurments. Try to find the angles mesurments.

Answer 14

How do I do that?

Answer 15

What's the full degree of a Triangle?

Answer 16

180

Answer 17

Alright. So we know that one angle is 90. Now we need to find the rest of the angle.

Answer 18

Okie, what do I do?

Answer 22

Have you ever heard of SOH CAH TOA?

Answer 23

Nope

Answer 24

So, that's really the basics when you learn about sin, cos, or tan.

\( \sin \theta = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\)

\( \cos \theta = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\)

\( \tan \theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}\)

Answer 25

So do I do this? sin 0 = 68/60?

Answer 26

Sorry, mines more complicated ^^;

Answer 27

Thanks Tranquility

Answer 28

Its alright, I assumed you were busy

Answer 29

I know you are sometimes and I can be a burden

Answer 30

No its alright ^^

Answer 31

I hate to bother

Answer 32

No, so for sin you simply take the sides that are opposite to the angle and the hypotenuse.

For example, if we had this triangle:


The side opposite of the angle \(\theta\) is 3. And the hypotenuse is 5.

Remember, the hypotenuse is the side opposite the 90 degree angle. It's the longest side in a right angle triangle.

And so what we get from the example is
\(\sin \theta = \frac{3}{5}\)

Answer 33

So in this case sin 0 = x/68?

Answer 34

Yes, good job! However we can calculate the opposite side using the Pythagorean theorem. Do you remember what that is?

Answer 35

Not exactly, I'm very stupid at Math

Answer 36

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

We can use that to find the value of one side knowing two sides of a right angle triangle

Answer 37

So a^2+68^2+60^2?

Answer 38

Wait 60 is bottom and 68 is the top

Answer 39

There's an equal sign.

Remember the two legs of the triangle is going to be a and b, and the hypotenuse is c

Answer 40

Wait, how would I write this out? I'm lost

Answer 41

Labeling is my weakness, whereas solving is no problem

Answer 42

For your triangle, is 60 or 68 the hypotenuse of the triangle?

Answer 43

Um both are equal lengths

Answer 44

60 and 68 are the lengths of the side of the triangle. Remember, the side opposite is the hypotenuse
What is the length of the hypotenuse

Answer 45

90?

Answer 46

The numbers that are next to the sides are the length. 90 is the angle value

Answer 47

60

Answer 48

Gosh sorry to keep doing this 68 I meant

Answer 49

Ok so

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c is the hypotenuse which means it's 68
And you can put 60 as either a or b, it doesn't really matter and just solve for the other letter

Answer 50

I got B=0

Answer 51

Try again

a^2 + 60^2 = 68^2

Solve for a. First take the squares, and then move everything to one side and then you'll need to square root.

Answer 52

I thought you said it didn't matter if it was a or b

Answer 53

a=32,-32

Answer 54

It doesn't matter if you decide to make a = 60 or b = 60, but we need to solve for the other side.

Also, since length is a positive thing, we take the positive value.

So know we know that the opposite side is 32.

Can you find what the final answer is now?

Answer 55

32/68?

Answer 56

Perfect, great work!

Answer 57

Thanks. I have to go now, thanks

Answer 58

No problem
