Simplify. In this case, an approximate value for the sine of 54 degrees is 0.80902. Step 9: Check for reasonableness: In this case, the hypotenuse must be longest at. 18 inches, so a leg of 15” seems reasonable. Part II) Practice Problems. 1. Calculate the value of x to the nearest tenth: 2. Calculate the value of y to the nearest tenth: 3. ................
