Use the sine function if you know the length of the opposite side and the hypotenuse. Plug your values into the equation: sine (x) = opposite ÷ hypotenuse. Say that the length of the opposite side is 6 and the length of the hypotenuse is 10. Divide 6 by 10, which is equal to 0.6. Now you know that sine (x) = 0.6 which is the same as x = sine^-1 (0.6).
Steps:
sin (x) = 6/10
sin(x) = 0.6
then we do sin^-1(0.6), which equals 36.869897645844 ° (degrees)
36.869897645844 ° (degrees) rounded to the nearest tenth is 36.9
The independent variable is the number of touchdowns that the team scores because the number of days off of practice is dependent on the number of touchdowns that the home team scores and not the rival team.
