Question

Use the trig ratios to find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

sorry its sideways

Answer 2

So it looks like they've provided us with the length of the hypotenuse. And we need to solve for the side OPPOSITE our angle.

Answer 3

so would it be x/17 which is sin

Answer 4

\[\large \sin 61^o=\frac{x}{17}\]Yes, very good. And from here, we need to solve for x.

Answer 5

so would the answer be 14.9 (rounded to the tenth)

Answer 6

yup sounds good.

Answer 7

How would you do number 14

Answer 8

since we don't have the hypotenuse

Answer 9

Hmm so we're given the length of the side `adjacent` to our known angle. And we need to solve for the side `opposite` this same angle.

Hmmmmm, which trig function? c:

Answer 10

tan?

Answer 11

9/x

Answer 12

yes tan, i think it's x/9 though.

Answer 13

ok

Answer 14

9*tan(25)=4.2

Answer 15

ok good job c:
