please calculate/solve for a right (90°) triangle when the vertical leg is 4\" and hypotenuse is at a 30 degree angle (330°).
\n" ); document.write( "what is the length of the base in inches?
\n" ); document.write( "what is the length of the hypotenuse in inches?
\n" ); document.write( "sin(30) = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "--> sin(30) = 4/hyp = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "hyp = 8 inch if I interpreted it right.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "IE.
\n" ); document.write( "if the vert Leg 4\" and the hypotenuse is at 45°
\n" ); document.write( "than the horz. leg is 4\"
\n" ); document.write( "and the hypotenuse is 5.66\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Using the same method:
\n" ); document.write( "sin(45) =~ 0.70711
\n" ); document.write( "hyp = 4/0.70711 =~ 5.66
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "but this makes a different right triangle and this one is easy for me. I know I should have listened better 38 years ago! In the future how can I figure this myself?
\n" ); document.write( "----------
