Drawing it would make you see it more clearly. It's basically just trigonometry

Answer 3

Now we need to solve for x. Any ideas?

Answer 4

umm use cos i think

Answer 5

Tan, actually. Tan = opposite/adjacent

Answer 6

Cos = adjacent/hypotenuse.

Answer 7

i was thinking that tan 46 *250 ??

Answer 8

tan46 = 250/x
x (tan46) = 250
x = 250 / tan46

Answer 9

tan 46 = 250/x
therefore x = 250/tan 46
