Question

find the value of x

Answer 1

have you been introduced to trigonometric ratios ?

Answer 2

Remember your trig ratios?

Answer 3

I always get confused on which one to use and end up with the wrong answer

Answer 4

there is no measurement on the hypotenuse... and you don't need to find the length of the hypotenuse... so that eliminates 2 ratios....

which ratio doesn't use the hypotenuse...?

Answer 5

would I use the ASA one?

Answer 6

no... it requires trigonometry

Answer 7

No worries



Adjacent is adjacent to the angle theta
Opposite is opposite to the angle
And the longest side is the hypotenuse

\[\large \sin \theta = \frac{ opp }{ hyp } \]

\[\large \cos \theta = \frac{ adj }{ hyp }\]

\[\large \tan \theta = \frac{ opp }{ adj }\]

Answer 8

so it would be tan

Answer 9

a good way to remember the adjacent side is that it runs from the angle to the right angle..

Answer 10

x = 90 percent

Answer 11

thats it
