Algebra.Com's Answer #588439 by LinnW(1048)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First find the length of the hypotenuse. \n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 5^2 + 7^2 \n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 25 + 49 \n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 64 \n" ); document.write( "c = sqrt(64) = 8 \n" ); document.write( "Since sin = opposite/hypotenuse, \n" ); document.write( "sin = 5/8 = 0.625 \n" ); document.write( " |
