TheSmartOne:

How'd you get that Which trigonometric function should you use?

Nicole:

Oh no ignore my answer that was by accident

Nicole:

I need to find the hypo right?

TheSmartOne:

So we have an angle, we have the adjacent side and we want to find the hypotenuse So which trigonometric function will we be using? sin? cos? tan?

Nicole:

either sin or cos

Nicole:

Im really bad at trigonometric functions

Nicole:

@Vocaloid ?

TheSmartOne:

it's pretty simple sin is opposite side/hypotenuse cos is adjacent side/hypotenuse Which one should we use here based on what I said earlier

Nicole:

sin since opposite?

Nicole:

5 is opposite to the hypotenuse

TheSmartOne:

If you're comparing with the hypotenuse, both will look opposite We use the angle to tell if it's adjacent or opposite |dw:1587486304893:dw| The side opposite \(\theta\) would be A The side adjacent would be B

TheSmartOne:

So sin or cos Now that you know what adjacent and opposite mean
