Question from Trent, a student: I need to know the area of a triangle. One side is 5 the base is 12 and the angle between them is 52 degrees. No height is specified. How do I find the height to get the area? |
Hi Trent,
h/5 = some trig function (52o). Which trig function is it? Can you use this to find h?
