Question

Alright they give me a right triangle and they give me a interior angle of 58 and a outside of 4.0 I need help on how to solve this

Answer 1

can you draw it, with the draw button

Answer 2

what is 4.0? a side-length?

Answer 3

thats how it looks

Answer 4

and they want me to solve for x

Answer 5

yes it is a side length

Answer 6

how would i solve this ?

Answer 7

do you remember that \[\tan\theta=\frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{adjacent side}}\]?

Answer 8

i dont really remember it how would i plug that in with my question ?

Answer 9

well you have theta is 58°, and you have the opposite side is 4.0

Answer 10

\[{\text{adjacent side}}=\frac{\text{opposite side}}{\tan\theta}\]

Answer 11

x = 4.0 / tan(58°)

Answer 12

i got 14.5 i dont know if thats right
