LOL, you just noticed? x'D I been noticed. Noob. Anyways, sorry Wooly, I'm not good with Math.

woolyfrog:

it's alright guys :)

umm:

Okie. @Hero

Hero:

@woolyfrog are you familiar with the formulas for sine and cosine? If so can you type what they are here?

woolyfrog:

Sin opp/hyp Cos adj/h

Hero:

Excellent. And in this case, for \(\sin(x)\), which value, would you say, represents the opposite side?

woolyfrog:

3

Hero:

Put it this way, Which side is directly opposite angle \(x\).

woolyfrog:

my bad, it's 4

Hero:

Very good. And what is the value of the hypotenuse side?

woolyfrog:

5

woolyfrog:

4/5

Hero:

Very good. \(\sin(x) = \dfrac{4}{5}\). Okay, now for \(\cos(y)\), which side represents the adjacent side?

woolyfrog:

4

Hero:

Correct. And you already know the hypotenuse side, right? So what is \(\cos(y)\)?

woolyfrog:

identical to Sin

woolyfrog:

4/5

Hero:

You got it. Great job.

woolyfrog:

Thank you for the help hero!
