Trigonometry

  • [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
  • [Right Triangles Only] sinθ = opposite over hypotenuse

Explanation:

Step 1: Identify

Angle θ = 20°

Opposite Leg = y

Hypotenuse = 8.5

Step 2: Solve for y

  1. Substitute in variables [sine]:
    \displaystyle sin20^\circ = (y)/(8.5)
  2. [Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply 8.5 on both sides:
    \displaystyle 8.5sin20^\circ = y
  3. Evaluate:
    \displaystyle 2.90717 = y
  4. Rewrite:
    \displaystyle y = 2.90717
