For either of the two angles in a right triangle, other than the right angle itself, sin(angle)=opposite over hypotenuse, cos(angle)=adjacent over hypotenuse, and tan(angle)=opposite over adjacent
1. sin(26.5)=y/15 y=15*sin(26.5) ≈ 6.69 ft
2. sin(theta)=8/17, cos(theta)=15/17, tan(theta)=8/15
3. not answerable - there is no figure showing x
