x sin50

anonymous · Answer

No

anonymous · Answer

sin 50 = x/z => z= sin 50/x

anonymous · Answer

? lol Ishy you are confusing me

anonymous · Answer

or, y/z = cos 50 => z = cos 50/y

Sorry, 1/z = sin50/x

anonymous · Answer

argh why am i typing wrong!? :( i will start over, ignore my above posts please.

anonymous · Answer

lol okay. Thanks for taking the time to help

anonymous · Answer

sin 50 = x/z => z = x/sin50

cos 50 = y/z => z = y/cos50

anonymous · Answer

phew y/cos50 is the answer.
