Question

Did i do this right? i had tan(27)=x/31 and for x I got 60.8409....

Answer 1

\[tan(27)=\frac{x}{31}\]
\[x=31tan(27)=15.8\] rounded

Answer 2

i am assuming that 27 means 27 degrees

Answer 3

oh okay but what about when the x is on bottom like cos(34degrees)=50/x?

Answer 4

then solve like any ratio:
\[cos(\theta)=\frac{50}{x}\]
\[x=\frac{50}{cos(\theta)}\]

Answer 5

in this case you get
\[x=\frac{50}{cos(34)}=60.31\]

Answer 6

ohh okay thanks!!<3
