anonymous · Answer

There are many ways to find x and y

anonymous · Answer

You will want to use trig functions to make it simple:
Sine cosine tangent

anonymous · Answer

we are using tangent right now but I don't knw what to do

anonymous · Answer

Solve this equation to start:
$$\tan (30)=\frac{ 10 }{ y }$$

anonymous · Answer

how would you find the value for y using this equation

anonymous · Answer

find the tangent of 30

anonymous · Answer

You can start there but I would rearrange my equation in terms of y first

anonymous · Answer

1) divide by tangent on both sides
2) multiply by y on both sides

anonymous · Answer

divide by tan(30) to be specific

anonymous · Answer

How to set I up like this?  tan (30) = y
                                                        10

anonymous · Answer

go to the equation editor in the bottom lefthand corner

anonymous · Answer

$$\tan \div 30 $$

anonymous · Answer

?

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

I gave you the initial equations and the steps to solve it. Where are you lost?

anonymous · Answer

$$\tan(30)=\frac{ 10 }{ y }$$
1) divide by tan(30) on both sides
2) multiply by y on both sides
