Question

Please help! Look at the figure. If tan x ̊= z divided by 10 and cos x ̊=10 divided by y ,what is the value of sin x°?

Answer 1

tanx = [sinx/cosx]

Put value from the the given data

Answer 2

So z/10=sinx/10/y ? Im lost.

Answer 3

Yes go ahead. You are doing right

Answer 4

z/10 =\[z/10=\sin \div 10/y\]

Answer 5

OK
z/10=y(sinx)/10
10 cancels out on both sides

Answer 6

z=sin/y

Answer 7

no its z=y sin(x)

Answer 8

\[\large \tan x=\frac{\sin x}{\cos x} \qquad\rightarrow\qquad \frac{z}{10}=\frac{\sin x}{\left(\dfrac{10}{y}\right)}\]

Remember what happens when you divide by a fraction?
You can rewrite it as multiplication by flipping the bottom fraction.\[\large \frac{z}{10}=\sin x \left(\frac{y}{10}\right)\]

Just wanted to point that out, in case there was some confusion.
