Question

Which equation can be used to solve for c ?

Right triangle ABC is shown. 

Answer 1

sin(50)=3/C

Explanation:

Answer 2

`sin 50^(\circ)=(3)/(c)` can be used to find c.

Explanation:

We have been given the right angle triangle:

So, we can use pythagoras theorem which is:

`hypotenuse^2=side^2+side^2`

Here,c= hypotenuse,one side=3m and other side=a[/tex]

We know
`sin 50^(\circ)=(perpendicular)/(hypotenuse)`

Perpendicular is the side opposite to angle

`sin 50^(\circ)=(3)/(c)`

`0.76=(3)/(c)`

`c=3.94`
