Explanation:

003:

To solve this, we'll be using the Pythagorean theorem,
a^2+b^2=c^2


a^2+8^2=15^2\\a^2+64=225\\a^2=161\\a = √(161)

004:

For the next couple questions we'll be using a fun rule called SOHCAHTOA, which stands for Sin (Opposite/Hypotenuse) Cos (Adjacent/Hypotenuse) Tan (Opposite/Adjacent). From this we can see that Tan θ is 8/
√(161).

005:

From this rule again, we can tell that sin Ф (Opposite/Hypotenuse) is going to be
√(161)/15.

Answer:

003:
√(161)

004: 8/
√(161)

005:
√(161)/15
