use the Pythagorean therom to determine the length of the other side and then you can use the definitions for sin and cos. or use the definition of tan use the opposite and adjacent sides to determine the angle

ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
in this case \[\tan \theta=(6/7)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\theta=\tan ^{-1}(6/7)\]

i need help with the measure of anglle N to the nearest whole number 40,41,49,50
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you should get 40.601 rounded up is 41
OpenStudy (anonymous):

have you heard of soh cah toa?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no what is that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
soh means \[\sin \theta=opposite/hypotenuse\]
cah means
\[\cos \theta=adjacent/hypotenuse \]
tah means
\[\tan \theta=adjacent/opposite\]
its a way to remember the definitions of sin cos and tan.
