How do you use sine in math?
The sine function is used in trigonometric calculations when attempting to find missing side lengths of a right triangle. The sine of an angle in a triangle is equal to the length of the side opposite of that angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. Using this fact you can calculate the length of the hypotenuse if you know an angle measure and the length of one leg of the triangle. You can also calculate the length of a leg of the triangle if you know an angle measure and the length of the hypotenuse.
How do you solve the hypotenuse of triangle APC if angle P is a right angle?
By using trigonometry or using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
What is the formula to find the length of a right angle triangle?
By using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
What are the angles from smallest to greatest in a triangle that has sides of 8.3cm 5.4cm and 7.1cm?
If you know all three sides of a triangle, you can calculate the angles using the law of cosines. If you only want to know which angle is the smallest, it is much simpler: The angle that is opposite to the smallest side is the smallest angle; the angle that is opposite to the largest side is the largest angle.
How do you find the base leg of a right triangle if you know the hypotenuse and one acute angle?
By using trigonometry that is applicable to a right angle triangle.
