This week in Math 10 we learned trigonometry and other aspects such as finding missing side lengths using trig.

Step 1: first step to any trig equation is to label all the sides and make sure theres a number on the inside and outside unless it wouldn’t work to use trig.

Step 2: Find out which variables you are given and figure out which side they belong to (ex. hypotenuse, opposite, or adjacent)

Step 3: Use the equation ratio= side 1 divided by side 2

Step 4: If the variable is on the bottom, reciprocate both sides of the equation

 

 

Step 5: Since we want to isolate x, multiply the bottom of the fraction with x and multiply it to both sides.

Step 6: Solve

FInal Answer: x = 2.6
