  2. You want to string cable to make a dog run from two corners of a building, as shown in the diagram. Write and solve a proportion using a trigonometric ratio to approximate the length of cable you will need. EXAMPLE 3 Use a trigonometric ratio to find a hypotenuse DOG RUN

  3. sin 35o = opp hyp 11 sin 35o = x xsin 35o = 11 x = x 11. 11. sin35o 0.5736 ANSWER x 19.2 You will need a little more than 19 feet of cable. EXAMPLE 3 Use a trigonometric ratio to find a hypotenuse SOLUTION Write ratio for sine of 35o. Substitute. Multiply each side by x. Divide each side by tan. 35o Use a calculator to find tan. 35o Simplify.

Write each answer as a decimal. Round to four decimal places, if necessary. SOLUTION Find SR, use the Pythagorean Theorem ST2 + TR2 = SR2 122 + 92 = SR2 15 = SR cos R cos S

  5. adj. to S adj. to R = = hyp hyp RT ST 30 16 = = = = 0.4706 0.8824 SR 34 34 SR for Examples 2, and 3 GUIDED PRACTICE In Exercises 3 and 4, find cos Rand cos S. Write each answer as a decimal. Round to four decimal places, if necessary. SOLUTION Find SR, use the Pythagorean Theorem ST2 + TR2 = SR2 162 + 302 = SR2 34 = SR cos R cos S
