Please help essay question: https://snipboard.io/lnvN5T.jpg

darkknight:

Lets mathematically calculate sin(x) and cos(y) So sin = opposite/hypotenuse cos = adjacent/hypotenuse With respect to the angle you are working with Can you calculate sin(x) and cos(y) ?

kekeman:

No i can't

darkknight:

opposite side of the angle x over the hypotenuse. That is sin(x) similarly the adjacent side of the angle y over the hypotenuse, that is cos(y)

darkknight:

please plug in the numbers now, calculate sin(x) and cos(y). no simplifying necessary

kekeman:

So how do i start the calculation

darkknight:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) darkknight opposite side of the angle x over the hypotenuse. That is sin(x) similarly the adjacent side of the angle y over the hypotenuse, that is cos(y) \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

kekeman:

I'm sorry but i'm confused

darkknight:

what is the opposite side of x? what is the hypotenuse? sin(x) = the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse

kekeman:

The hypotenuse is unknown

darkknight:

Use pythagorean theorem to calculate it

kekeman:

144 + 25 = C^2

kekeman:

169 = C^2

darkknight:

and c = 13. now sin(x) = ?

kekeman:

12/13 = 0.923076

darkknight:

With respect to the angle you are working with thats cos(x)

kekeman:

5/13 = 0.3846153

kekeman:

Can you just solve it for me because i need an example

darkknight:

u just did, leave it as 5/13. Now what is cos(y)?

kekeman:

5/13

darkknight:

so what is the relationship between sin(x) and cos(y)?

kekeman:

Sin X = 5/13 and Cos y = 5/13

kekeman:

Complementary

kekeman:

They are both equal

darkknight:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @kekeman They are both equal \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) yee

kekeman:

Yayy thanks

darkknight:

You are very much welcome
