Math Problem Statement
Choose the correct trigonometric ratio for the following: SIN C. Starting from angle C, label the following triangle: OPP, ADJ, and HYP
Solution
To determine , we first label the sides of the triangle relative to angle :
- Opposite (OPP): The side opposite angle is .
- Adjacent (ADJ): The side adjacent to angle is .
- Hypotenuse (HYP): The longest side of the triangle is .
The trigonometric ratio for is defined as:
Thus:
