I would like to know how they got 0.2756? I have tried using sin several different ways and am stumped as to how.

NOTE: I am NOT looking to solve this equation I just need to understand how sin became 0.2756.

A plane rises from takeoff and flies at an angle of 16 with the horizontal runway. When it has gained 1000 feet, nd the distance, to the nearest foot, the plane has own. hypotenuse The opposite leg is 1000 feet, and the angle is 16. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode before nding the sine of the angle. opposite sin 9 = hypotenuse Using algebra to solve the equation above for the hypotenuse, oppose hypotenuse = sin 6 opposite 1000 sin 0 m 0.2756 Therefore, hypotenuse =
