Answer 5

how's it going?

Answer 6

i dont get how to do this

Answer 7

which part. How i got this problem or how to solve for x. or both

Answer 8

how to solve for x

Answer 9

it's algebra

Answer 10

multiply both sides by 5

Answer 11

46/5=9.2
5/5=1

Answer 12

5 * tan46 not tan46/5

Answer 13

you there?

Answer 14

sorry i had ti do something

Answer 15

Answer 16

With that being said we see that we have the side adjacent to our angle (46) and that we need the side that is opposite the angle (x)

So we need the formula that has both opposite and adjacent in it. TOA - tangent(Angle) = Opposite / Adjacent

tangent(46) = x / 5

And that is where you get 5 * tan(46) = x

Answer 17

the answer is 3.5 i think

Answer 18

Not quite, what does your calculator give you for tan(46)?
