Notice the picture
we have, the opposite side
the angle
and we want the hypotenuse

so recall your SOH CAH TOA $\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad \qquad 
% cosine
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\\ \quad \\\\
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent} =$

which one has all that? low and behold, is Ms Sine,
so let's bother Ms Sine

$\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\implies sin(27^o)=\cfrac{18}{hypotenuse}
\\\\\\
hypotenuse=\cfrac{18}{sin(27^o)}$

make sure your calculator is in Degree mode, since the angle here is in degrees, as opposed to Radian mode

An ellipse has a center at the origin, a vertex along the major axis at (20, 0), and a focus at (16, 0). the equation of the ell

olga_2 [115]

If the center is at (0, 0) and the vertex is at (20, 0), then the distance, a, is the length from the center to the vertex, 20. The distance from the center to the focus is c. The distance from the center to the focus is 16, so c = 16. The formula we use to find the focus is $c^2=a^2-b^2$ . We have our c value and our a value, so we will sub in those to find b. $16^2=20^2-b^2$ and 256 = 400 - b^2. -b^2 = -144, so b = 12. There you go!
