Answer 4

@Z4K4R1Y4 Like this? cos(30)/20 sqrt 3?

Answer 5

no,

Answer 6

the fractions the other way around

Answer 7

\[\cos 30=\frac{ 20\sqrt{3} }{ x}\]

Answer 8

The value I got is 40

Answer 9

It looks like to me that the hyos is the 20sqrt3. So that should be in the denominator.

Answer 10

*hyp

Answer 11

becomes \[x = \frac{ 20\sqrt{3} }{ \cos 30 }\]

Answer 12

oh yh sorry my mistake. thanks @JoannaBlackwelder

Answer 13

Answer 14

adj/hpo?

Answer 15

Any thoughts from here?

Answer 17

I plugged the formula in and I got 40... Do I need to put it in radical form?

Answer 18

\[40=2\sqrt{10}\]

Answer 19

That would be a good idea, however, I don't get 40. How did you get that?

Answer 20

im afraid it's the formula I put up

Answer 21

cos(30)/20sqrt(3)
This one?

Answer 22

\[x=\frac{ \cos 30 }{ 20\sqrt{3} }\]
that's the right one

Answer 23

the previouse one was wrong

Answer 24

Alright.. I entered it correctly this time. I got 0.025

Answer 25

yh that's right
