7 x 2 = 14.0 right

OpenStudy (photon336):

You need to use the inverse tangent ArcTan (2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah yes tan^-1

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[ArcTan (2) = \frac{ x }{ 7 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[63 = x/7\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7(63) is your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since arctan (2 ) = 63

OpenStudy (photon336):

Yeah and then you could just use pythagorean therom to find the length of the hypothenuse but that's just if you're interested lol
