OpenStudy (shaleiah):

I got 8.6

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

I used tan

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

you need to use cosine

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

\[\cos(52)=\frac{ 11 }{ x }=17.9 (rounded)\]

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

yes that is correct

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Thank you so much!!

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

yw

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please apply this formula: \[\huge 11 = x \cdot \cos 52\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I got a different result

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

When I divided. I got 17.866 is that correct?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! \[\Large x = \frac{{11}}{{\cos 52}} = \frac{{11}}{{0.61566}} \simeq 17.87\]

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here, we can apply this formula: \[\Large x = 13 \cdot \cos 32=...?\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

sorry, I have made an error, here is the right formula: \[\huge 13 = x \cdot \cos 32\]

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

That would mean my answer is correct.... 15.32

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! Better is \(15.33\)
