Answer 3

hypotenuse?

Answer 4

Do you understand that the hypotenuse is always the longest sides in a right triangle and that it is opposite the right angle?

Answer 5

yes I understand

Answer 6

So I repeat my original question: In relation to the angle x, what two sides do you know?

Answer 11

Now, you know the adjacent side and the opposite side, what trig function does that make you think of?

Answer 12

tan right?

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

\[\tan x=\frac{opp}{adj}\]

Answer 15

Fill in the sides and solve the equation for x

Answer 16

I got 0.00581 ? ...

Answer 17

What did you get for the tangent?

Answer 18

that's what I got I put tan 11/33

Answer 19

\[\tan x=\frac{11}{33}=\frac{1}{3}=.3333333...\]

Answer 20

how did you get the last part?

Answer 21
