Question

iosangel · Answer

My only problem here is determining if its cos or sin

snowflake0531 · Answer

do you know the difference between soh cah toa

snowflake0531 · Answer

In this image, you have the hypotenuse side and the adjacent side 
this is a and h, which is cosine

iosangel · Answer

Yes i know what they are but how do i know its sin and not cos

iosangel · Answer

how is it adjacent and not opposite

snowflake0531 · Answer

Because of soh cah toa
Sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse
Cos(x)= adjacent/hypotenuse
So, if you have opposite but not adjacent, it's sine, if you have adjacent but not opposite, it's cosine.

snowflake0531 · Answer

Examples ^^^
o is opposite
a is adjacent
h is hypotenuse

iosangel · Answer

so it should be opposite and not adjacent

snowflake0531 · Answer

For the one you have, you have adjacent and hypotenuse.
Remember, adjacent means the one right next to it, if it's opposite, it won't be right by the angle

iosangel · Answer

ohh its about the angle

snowflake0531 · Answer

Yes, the angle matters lol.

iosangel · Answer

ok thanks that makes sense now

snowflake0531 · Answer

So you got the answer for this question?

iosangel · Answer

yes after that i would

adjacent/hypotenuse

cos 35=x/22

solve18.0

correct?

snowflake0531 · Answer

What is the 18 supposed to mean?

iosangel · Answer

=18.0

snowflake0531 · Answer

Right, right when you said it, I understood lol. Sorry~

iosangel · Answer

x=22(cos35°)
x≈18.0213

snowflake0531 · Answer

Ye, it's correct~
