If tan x = .76 and cos x = .22, what is sin x?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

how do we define tan in terms of sin and cos?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then that should be something you need to review since it is a basic requirement of any trig course

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan(x) =.76 sin(x)/cos(x) = .76 sin(x)/(0.22) = .76 sin(x) = (0.76)(0.22) sin(x) = 0.1672 or 0.17 Answer is a: .17

thank youuuu

as anima demonstrates; knowing that was paramount in a solution
