- [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
- [Right Triangles Only] sinθ = opposite over hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Identify
Angle θ = 26.5°
Opposite Leg = y
Hypotenuse = 15
Step 2: Solve for y
- Substitute [Sine]: sin26.5° = y/15
- Isolate y: 15sin26.5° = y
- Rewrite: y = 15sin26.5°
- Evaluate: y = 6.69297
- Round: y ≈ 6.69
