For the rest of the first one, I assume use cos to get theta?

OpenStudy (imstuck):

No you would not use the cosine identity for this. You have the side opposite and the side adjacent to the angle. Which identity uses those?

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

tan?

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Yes. That's the right one. How do you set it up?

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

To find the angle I would use tan-1 4/7

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Yes, you would! Do you know how to go about that on your calculator?

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Yes. I got 29.7449

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

I have one more question.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

That's right. Good job! What else do you have?
