Answer:
Explanation:
Solution
The two sides given and the angle you want to solve for are defined by the sine function. The Sine of an angle is defined by
Sin(Z) = the opposite side / hypotenuse.
The oppose side is the side that does not make up the angle (in this case Z)
The angle itself is found using the inverse sine. The formula is
Theta = sin-1(opposite / adjacent)
Givens
opposite = 6 cm
hypotenuse = 15 cm
Solution
Theta = sin-1(6/15)
Theta = sin-1(0.4)
Theta = 23.58
