What is x? Assuming its angle XYZ, sin (x) = opposite/hypotenuse = 5/12 cos (x) = adjacent/hypotenuse = 12/rt(119) (remember to rationalise this)

?

please show work

OpenStudy (shane_b):

I think it's just asking for this:\[sin(x)=\frac{\sqrt{119}}{12}\]\[cos(x)=\frac{5}{12}\]

OpenStudy (shane_b):

There's no real work involved...it's just looking at the triangle at X and using SOH-CAH-TOA (well, not really TOA in this case).
