Sin14=x/48

dude:

If you’re solving for x Isolate x on both sides by multiply 48 on both sides You need a calculator if you want an exact answer though

Allison:

Yeah, I got 11.61?

dude:

Uhh I got something different D: 47.549

Allison:

Bro what

Allison:

It would be inserted as 48sin14

dude:

So you were supposed to get \(48sin(14)=x\)

dude:

Yeah

Allison:

Yuh

dude:

Hmm Is your calculator in radians or degrees

Allison:

Degrees

dude:

Ah i was in radians

dude:

You’re right

Allison:

A guy wire attached to the top of a radio antenna is bolted to the ground 48 m from the base of the tower. If the wire makes an angle of 14 degrees with the ground, how high is the radio antenna? Express your answer to 2 decimal places. a. 8.00 b. 10.02 c. 11.97 d. 14.35 e. 17.96

Allison:

I keep getting 11.61 and I just CAN'T GET THIS??!

Allison:

Either I'm going crazy or this problem is incorrect SOH CAH TOA It's Sin.

Allison:

Allison:

Opposite, adjacent, and hypotenuse

dude:

Ah It’s not sin Use Tan The 48 is the distance from the ground, so it’s adjacent and you’re solving for opposite (I know that the first sentence is confusing it confused me too) I’m on mobile so I can’t draw it D:

Allison:

Bruh 11.967 so 11.97

Allison:

C -.-

Allison:

Thank you

dude:
