If I have to find the length of b, which angle should I use?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1340004889217:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For b I should use tangent as it's perp/base I have b as the perp and 10 as the base. Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but i think the data is insufficient

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\tan \theta=\frac{b}{10}\] \[b=10\tan \theta\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the value of theta is to be known that is the reason i mentioned data is insufficient

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The question only asks for the ration, which ratio should I use? cos, sin, tan, or sec?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ratio**

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nancy_Lam So i have to use, theta, and not 90, any particular reason for that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not enough information to solve
