Cos(x) = Adjacent side / Hypotenuse      (x) will be your angle.

For (d)    Sin (x) = Opposite Side / Hypotenuse

do I do  Adjacent side divided by Hypotenuse to get x? And Opposite Side divided by Hypotenuse to get x?

1. Make sure your calculator is set for degrees.
2. Press 2nd then Cos
3. Enter the opposite side divided by the Hypotenuse  ( 6/12)
4. Press Enter
What do you get?

No...that is incorrect. Is you calculator set on degrees?

theqube1 · Answer

It doesn't have that option

anonymous · Answer

You do not have a drg button?

theqube1 · Answer

nope

anonymous · Answer

The answer you should end up with is 60 degrees. Not knowing what your calculator is i cannot help you any further. The steps above are the correct way to solve.

@nelsonjedi okay well thank you. Would I do the same for the other question?

anonymous · Answer

Yes but instead of cos you would use sin

theqube1 · Answer

Okay thank you!!

theqube1 · Answer

@Babynini I did whatever he said on the calculator an it never gave me 60 so I can't really do either problems if the method isn't correct
