My dorm agreed to use "4" when we didn't know the answer.

Is the 104.625 across from the 17 or 73 degree angle?

You can set it up as a ratio problem and solve it that way. I can’t remember sines and tangents and cotangents.

One side is 340, the other is 360

When I entered Navy flight training, we had a math entrance exam. There were trig questions. Luckily, they drew everything to scale so I could use plane geometry.

Sine of angle = opposite over hypotenuse. Cosine = adjacent over hypotenuse
To: EEGator
104.625 is vertical from the base of the triangle, with the 17 degree angle at the top of the 104.625 side
Thanks!

Tagent = opposite over adjacent. This one in particular will be useful.

using tan(x) = pop / adj
hyp^2 = s1^2 + s2^2
s1 = 342.21
s2 = 104.625
hyp = 343.7

Rule of sines. Hypotenuse = 104.625 / sine of opposite angle.

The length of the hypotenuse is 109.406
side1 = 104.625
side2 = 31.987

Not to find the hypotenuse it isn’t.

Opposite = adjacent * tangent of the angle
Hypotenuse = Opposite / sine of the angle

One side is 100.0534 (opposite 73 degrees)...the other is 30.5894 (opposite 17 degrees.
Use the law of sines OR strictly by proportion.
To: jsh3180
Is 104.625 the long or the short side. Is it is the long side then c(hyp) = 104.625/cos17 . If 104.625 is the short side the c = 104.625/sin17. There is also 3 more ways to quickly figure this problem.
