the second one

OpenStudy (jack1):

cools, so first find the length of the line DG using pythag \[h^2 = a^2 + b^2 \] DG^2 = CD^2 + CG^2 where CD and CG each = 10

OpenStudy (jack1):

then use that length to find the angle between DG and DE using SOH CAH TOA so tan (theta) = opposite length / adjacent length tan (theta) = GE / DG where GE = 10

OpenStudy (jack1):

once you have the angle (theta) simply hit cos on the calc then sin on the calc to find your required answers
