@ganeshie8
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\large \tan(46) = \frac{x}{12}\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
to find x, we need to isolate x.
so wat should be our first step ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
multiply 12 both sides ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes multiply.

\(\large \large 12 \times \tan(46) = 12 \times \frac{x}{12}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 12 gets crossed out right.
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\large \large 12 \times \tan(46) = \cancel{12} \times \frac{x}{\cancel{12}}\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes crossed out
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\large \large 12 \times \tan(46) = x\)

\(\large x = \large 12 \times \tan(46) \)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im not sure what to do in that step
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
now, use ur calculator and find out wat tan(46) is
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
then multiply it wid 12
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
u knw how to find tan(46) in ur calculator ?

tan of 46 = 1.03 right?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes !
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
finish it off,
OpenStudy (anonymous):
12.3?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\large x = 12 \times \tan(46)\)
\(\large = 12 \times 1.03\)
\(\large = 12.36\)
\(\large \sim 12.4\)
