Do you know soh cah toa

iosangel:

I get tan theta=1300/5280

snowflake0531:

Yepp

iosangel:

but when i put in calculator i get 0.0

snowflake0531:

Firstly, put it in degree mode. Also, make sure you typed it in right?

iosangel:

yes i put it in deg mode

snowflake0531:

Use https://www.mathway.com/Trigonometry

snowflake0531:

And put in tan(x) = 1300/5280

snowflake0531:

And then choose solve for x, degrees

snowflake0531:

Because there, they can solve for x for you, you don't have to type in tan^-1(1300/5280)

snowflake0531:

You can just type tan(x)=11300/5280

snowflake0531:

*1300

iosangel:

ok thanks

snowflake0531:

Did you get the answer I screenshotted? or no

iosangel:

iosangel:
