C. Find the sine, cosine, and tangent of the 30° angle in the lot. Write your answers ad decimals rounded to four decimal places.

Answer 1

draw a diagram and show what you know



now using the scaling factor.... the triangles are similar, to what is the small triangle side 1 multiplied by to get the larger triangle side of 41

when you know that you can multiply the other small triangle sides by the same number.

hope it helps
