which one of these:
sin 30° = x/15
cos 30° = 15/x
tan 30° = x/15
tan 30° = 15/x
OpenStudy (ryan123345):
do u have an idea of what trig function you have to use?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (ryan123345):
tan.

tan what?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the sum of the interior angles is 180 degree !
so um|dw:1364948412222:dw|

SOH-CAH-TOA
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its a right angled
triangle
so two sides are even
OpenStudy (anonymous):
opposite length
= adjacent length

SOH: sine=opposite/hypotenuse
CAH: cosine=adjacent/hypotenuse
TOA: tangent=opposite/adjacent
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah thats the formula
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but about the angle ! you need to know the sum of all interior angle is 180 degree
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 90 degree is given
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the other two angles has to be 45 degree

but since the angle is given
OpenStudy (anonymous):
tan 30 = x/15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but i don't get how that would solve x?
