Directrix (directrix):

First, look at the data and determine which trig function to use. We have an opposite leg from the x degree angle and the hypotenuse given.

Directrix (directrix):

sin x= 4/5 That has to be solved.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.8 when you divide 4/5

Directrix (directrix):

sin x = .8 Correct.

Directrix (directrix):

To get x, we will need a calculator of some sort.

Directrix (directrix):

We can use something online. Let me see.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

Directrix (directrix):

There is a simpler calculator somewhere but for now, look at this. You will see a bunch of stuff but look for x = http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=sin+x+degrees+%3D+.8 When you get there, click on approximate form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and itll give me the answer?

Directrix (directrix):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 57.296 so itll round to 57.3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Directrix am I right itll be 57.3

Directrix (directrix):

Sorry, my computer crashed but I'm back. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. You rounded to nearest tenth.

Directrix (directrix):

Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 57.29 6 --> 57.30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!!!!

Directrix (directrix):

You are welcome. I'm looking for a better calculator for this type problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it wrong but the other one you helped me on I got it right but thank you again for helping me and explaining to me I appreciate it(:

Directrix (directrix):

What? Are you saying that 57.30 is wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea it said it was wrong

Directrix (directrix):

Was a "correct" answer given?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

Directrix (directrix):

Let me get my hand calculator. I don't see the error yet.

Directrix (directrix):

I am so sorry. 53.13 is the answer I get on the hand calculator. I apologize.
