how do i find the value of x in this equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1327976898833:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=tan30 * 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be \[x =\tan30\times7?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\tan \theta=opposite/adjacent\], so tan30=x/7, multiply both side by 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you actually do not need trig for this, just know the ratios of the triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me what the equation would be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for that triangle , if the short side is 1, the ratios are \[1,\sqrt{3},2\] for short side, long side, hypotenuse
