Find theta  or the angle of direction usin trig tan ratio

$\sf \large tan\ \theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}\ \theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{opposite}{adjacent})$

your opposite is 4 ft and your adjacent is 6ft
plug them in the formula i gave above

I get what you mean just that "tan" always throws me off

its*

anonymous · Answer

okay don't worry :D
so the diagram is clear? all those opposite and adjacent stuff?

here_to_help15 · Answer

Diagram is superb its just the solving it.

@Data_LG2 ?

anonymous · Answer

oh okay great then

so do you know the trig ratio SOH CAH TOA? 

sin 0 = opposite/hypotenuse
cos 0 = adjacent/hypotenuse
tan 0 = opposite/adjacent

i just make 0 as theta for now

here_to_help15 · Answer

Sin cos and tan i dont know why i never get those. I see them and i get stuck, being homeschooled sucks :/

here_to_help15 · Answer

Ok look can you explain how you get opposite hypotenuse adjacent

anonymous · Answer

don't worry i had the same problem before :)

what you do, so that you won't get confuse, just focus on the position of the angle or the theta. The opposite of the angle will always be the opposite side and the opposite of the 90 degree angle will be the hypotenuse. Then the remaining side will be the adjacent side .

Now, depending on the given values and the position of the angle, you'll determine whether to use sin, cos or tan
