Ok homeschoolers try this problem on right triangle trigonometry and the sine function.
Key concepts to remember:
* first make sure you know all the properties of right triangle to include the pythagorean theorem.
* you want to use a calculator for these problems
* know the phrase “SOH-CAH-TOA” it explains the ratios for sine, cosine and tangent in a right triangle
* you will need to set up a ratio equation (proportion) to solve for the missing variable
* you can always double check you solution using the pythagorean theorem.
Important habits to master math:
* write out all steps
* be very neat
* use pencil not pen
* review your work as your go
* make sure you know the basics like fractions, positive and negative numbers and order of operations- these are the most common places students make mistakes
