BEGINNER QUESTIONS
Question 1 Given sin C = 4/5 and the length of AB = 10. What is the length of AC (see figure below)?
-- Answer -- 12.5
sin θ = 10/AC = 4/5
AC = 12.5
Question 2 For triangle ABC, angle B is 90°. Angle A is 20° and BC is 6. What ix AC?
-- Answer -- 0.057
sin 20° = 6/x
0.342 = 6/x
x = 0.057
