this if you could you have to find the value of x to the nearest tenth. 5.7 21.2 30.3 82.1

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

We need to set up an equation with our given information which can be solved for x. We happen to know one side length and one angle. We want to find another side-length. This seems ideal for trigonometric functions. You choose the trig function that relates the side you know and the side you want to find. Then solve for that side-length you were looking for. A calculator will be useful to find the value to the nearest tenth, then.

ok so are you meaning tangents, sine and cosine?

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

Yes. Those are your primary trig functions. Each is defined in a way such as this: sin = opposite / hypotenuse. Whichever one relates the side you know and the side you want is what you want. :)
