Mathematics - Trigonometry - Introduction - Sine, cosine, tangent - Using Trig to Find Sides
6 steps: (1) Problem: right triangle, angle=35°, hypotenuse=10. Find opposite. (2) Choose the right ratio: we have hyp, want opp → use SIN. (3) sin(35°) = opp/10. (4) opp = 10 × sin(35°) = 10 × 0.574 = 5.74. (5) Finding adjacent: cos(35°) = adj/10 → adj = 8.19. (6) When you have two sides and want a
