Question

Trigonometric ratios

Answer 1

What is the value of x rounded to the nearest hundredth?

Answer 2

First of all tell me what you got here? Tangent,Sin or Cosine?

Answer 3

o.o ummmm tangent ?

Answer 4

mm great!.Now you got tangent 49=x/55 right?

Answer 5

because remember you're not looking for the angle this time,you're looking to a side.So it will be 49=x/55
x is the opposite and 55 the adjacent

Answer 6

you understand what I'm doing?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

so find now the tangent of 49

Answer 9

you have a calculator?

Answer 10

yes ... how do i do it ?

Answer 11

@joshhfers

Answer 12

@Compassionate

Answer 13

I talked to you before and you took so long to answer just press where it says tan and put 49

Answer 14

-3.17 etc..

Answer 15

Angle, side adjacent to angle...and want the opposite side....= tangent

\[\large \tan\theta = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}\]
\[\large \tan(49^{\circ}) = \frac{x}{55}\]
\[\large x = \tan(49^{\circ}) \times 55\]

@Gabylovesyou Make sure that your calculator in in "degree" mode...if you are getting -3.17 for your answer of tan(49) you are actually in "Radians" mode :)
