OpenStudy (asnaseer):

you need to use trigonometry here.

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

are you familiar with that?

OpenStudy (dariyana):

lol no

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

what methods have you been taught for this type of question?

OpenStudy (dariyana):

i cant really explain it good but when i did try to solve it i got A for the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know cosine?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

do you know about sin/cos/tan?

OpenStudy (dariyana):

yes

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

then use one of those to solve this. this site might be of help to you: http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/trigonometry.html

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

if you are still stuck after looking at that site, then let me know and I will try and guide you to the answer.

OpenStudy (dariyana):

yes iam still lost @asnaseer

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

ok, looking at your diagram, what would cos of the angle at L be equal to?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

have you heard of sohcahtoa?

OpenStudy (dariyana):

that what my quiz is named

OpenStudy (dariyana):

but idk what it means

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

:) it is a mnemonic to help you remember the following rules: soh --> sin(A) = opposite/hypotenuse cah --> cos(A) = adjacent/hypotenuse toa --> tan(A) = opposite/adjacent
