- [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
- [Right Triangles Only] sin∅ = opposite over hypotenuse
Explanation:
Step 1: Identify Variables
Angle = 35°
Opposite Leg = x
Hypotenuse = 20
Step 2: Solve for x
- Substitute [sine]: sin35° = x/20
- Isolate x: 20sin35° = x
- Evaluate: 11.4715 = x
- Rewrite: x = 11.4715
- Round: x ≈ 11.5
