I gave you enough of a helpful hint. You should be able to figure out the rest on your own. If you can't, that's sad.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me ?

hero (hero):

You can't find x on your own?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you divide ?

hero (hero):

you divide then take inverse tan of both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no idea ? Is it C

hero (hero):

if you don't know how to do that, you're probably going to fail
