Question

find the value of x round to the nearest degree

Answer 1

You can use simple trigonometric ratios to solve this. Did you try this?

Answer 2

i did but i didnt get the right answer

Answer 3

tell me what you did so I can tell u where you made the mistake

Answer 4

i did sin. but since there was no degree i did sin11=x over 20

Answer 5

Thatz where you made the mistake. sine ratio is defined as \[\frac{ opposite side }{ hypotaneuse}\]
according to the figure I have drawn here it is \[sinA = \frac{ BC }{ AC } = \frac{ a }{ b }\]

Answer 6

In your problem x is the angle. So you have to write trigonometric ratios for the angle. You cant write trig ratios for sides

Answer 7

can you understand what Im telling?

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

can u write sine,cos ratios for the triangle I have drawn?
