Someone please help me do this!

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan 22 = 203/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply both sides by x to clear the fraction. Then divide by tan 22.

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Further explain:((( Helpp.. @Brian42

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What don't you understand?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

I don't know how to do that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan A = opposite/adjacent The opposite side is the side directly across from the angle which is 22 degrees The adjacent side touches the angle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What did you get for your answer?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

9.23? @Brian42

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Help me:(((

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are you having trouble with? What part don't you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the tan function?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How about the sine or cosine?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright well, I guess the best I can do is to show you how to solve it even if you don't know what it means. tan 22 = 203/x x(tan 22) = x(203/x) x = 203/tan 22 x = 203/.404 x =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you get when you divide 203 by .404?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

502.48

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Could you help with one more like this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the length of side x.

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, sure. You should really learn those trig functions. You're gonna need them if you study calculus.

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sin 27 = X/580 580( Sin 27) = X

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

What do I do for this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You multiply 580 times Sin 27 Sin 27 is approximately .454 if you punch it in on your calculator

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

263.32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, looks good

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

COuld you explain to me how to do another type of problem if I respot? I just started triganomitry today

OpenStudy (anonymous):

respot?
