I did SOC-CAH-TOA and got a decimal, now what?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you need to find \(\large\color{slate}{ { \rm BC} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I would find \(\large\color{slate}{ \angle{ \rm C} }\) and use a law of sines.

OpenStudy (misty1212):

hint this is how tangent was invented

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I set it up like this: \[\tan (18)=\frac{ x }{ 4 }\] \[x= 1.2996\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I for some reason, never think of tangents. dky That is correct.

OpenStudy (misty1212):

what they want from you is \[x=4\tan(18^0)\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

they are not looking for a number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you! ^ That's what I was confused on , so they want it like the one found in option "C".

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[4\tan(18^{\circ})\] thannks @SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
