darkknight:

Assuming you know the trig ratios. What trig ratio would fit out scenario here?

darkknight:

We want to find the hypo. We know the adjacent side. So what do we have?

darkknight:

Still with me?

jhonyy9:

@Nicole do you know the trigonometric functions ? the law of these functions ?

Nicole:

Im so sorry @darkknight @jhonyy9 my wifi cut off and I was not able to come on here.

Nicole:

The hypo is a @darkknight

darkknight:

Yes, the hypo and the adjacent side of the angle is what we have. The trig ratio that defines this situation is cos. cos = adj/hypo. cos35 = 5/a acos35 = 5 a = 5/cos35. Make sure calculator is in degrees!

Nicole:

Got itt so its 6.1

Nicole:

that makes sense now. are you available to help me a little more please? @darkknight

darkknight:
