You can put this solution on YOUR website!
find sin if cos = 7/25
We know that cos = a/h
and we also know that sin = o/h
In other words we need to find o.
So we use Pythagoras theorem to find o.
So....
7%5E2+%2B+o%5E2+=+25%5E2
49+%2B+o%5E2+=+625
o%5E2+=+625+-+49
o%5E2+=+576
+o+=+24
now that we know o we can solve for sin so we divide o/h:
sin = 24/25 is our final answer assuming this is in quad 1.
