Question

Angle 20 degrees
opposite leg is 15
what is hypotenuse?

Answer 1

The trig ratio that we would use is
`sin \theta = (opp. leg)/(hyp)`
Plugging in the values we get the following equation

`sin20^o= (15)/(h)`
Looks tricky but you just need to interchange sin 20 and h

`h= (15)/(sin20^o)`
You probably need to make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
hypotenuse is approximately 43.86
