Geometery help

[Lauralynna]

Trying to understand how to do this to explain it to my daughter. Please help. Using either sine c or sine a of triangle cba create trigonometric ratios using sine, cosine and tangent. You must provide the ratio and demonstrate the work used to solve for a missing piece of the ratio. Round all solutions to the nearest hundredth. Thank you for help I don't know where to begin

I learned the Legend of Chief Soh-Cah-Toa in Boy Scouts (1956).

Here is a good explaination for Soh-Cah-Toa

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.

I also learned from the the same Boy Scout den...

An amerindian chief had three wives. One always sat on a bear hide, the second on a horse hide, but the third sat on a hippopotamus hide. The first squaw had a male child, the second had a male child too, but the third had twins. Which goes to prove: the squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws on the other two hides.
