Answer:

When you multiply both sides by a negative value you make the side that is greater have a "bigger" negative number, which actually means it is now less than the other side! This is why you must flip the sign whenever you multiply by a negative number.

Find the measure of the indicated angle to the nearest degree
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

32°

Step-by-step explanation:

use this formula :

Now you want to get the angle be x, so the opposite side is 28 and hypotenuse is 53. Putting in the formula we get:

Sin(x) = 28/53

Sin(x)= 0.5283018868

So to find x just do Sin^-1

x = Sin^-1 (0.5283018868)

you get 31.8907918, ok so we just want the nearest degree and if we do that we get 32˚

if you put them into your calculator you will get 32˚ as your answer
