Answer 2

@jim_thompson5910 A?? :)

Answer 3

look at angle x, what is opposite of it?

Answer 4

Answer 5

which side is opposite angle x

Answer 6

tan Y is the right answer @jim_thompson5910

Answer 7

don't worry about the answer, what side is opposite angle x?

Answer 8

side P

Answer 9

what is the hypotenuse

Answer 10

Q

Answer 11

what is sine (use the link I gave you)

Answer 12

specifically what is sin(x)

Answer 13

ohhh ok sine is opposite/hypotenuse

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

so because the opposite of angle x is p

and the hypotenuse is q

this means

sin(x) = p/q

Answer 16

but we want r/q, so sin(x) can't be the answer

Answer 17

cosineX because opposite of x is R and adjacent of x is Q :)

Answer 18

cos isn't opp/hyp though

Answer 19

I think you meant to say adjacent is r

Answer 20

aaahh oopp my bad

Answer 21

cosine is what?

Answer 22

use the link again

Answer 23

yea im sorry ok i will give me a sec to clearly look at it

Answer 24

its ok

Answer 25

ok lol so adjacent/hypotenuse is what i meant to say because that's cosine so Cos x

Answer 26

good, cos = adj/hyp

Answer 27

so what is cos(x)

Answer 28

wow that was a really easy problem but i was making stupid mistakes but thanks

Answer 29

that's ok

Answer 30

cos(x) is adjacent/hypotenuse

Answer 31

what's the adjacent side to angle x

Answer 32

r

Answer 33

what's the hypotenuse

Answer 34

Q
