Question

Remember that the sine of an angle is the opposite over the hypotenuse.

Answer 1

1.)

`R = 8/17\\S = 15/17`

2.)

`R = 5/13`

`S=12/13`

Step-by-step explanation: sin represents the ratio between a side opposite to an angle and the hypotenuse. It is important to learn these ratios as they allow for you to solve for side lengths in a triangle and angles. We were in this case finding the ratios. A lowercase letter represents a side length opposite to the angle. So to find R we would just need to divide r by t. In the first example, it would just be 16/34 which simplifies to 8/17. Do the same thing for s, and it would be for 30/34 which simplifies to 15/17. Repeat the same steps and you should get 5/13 for R and 12/13 for S.
