Answer:


\boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{3. \: \: \: \: \underline{ \: 11.85}}}}


\boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{ \: 4. \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \underline{13 √(3) \: cm}}}}

Explanation:

First , A simple way how to remind the three basic trigonometric functions is by reminding the famous word " SOHCAHTOA". We divide the word in three words with three letters.


\underline{ \underline{ \sf{SOH , \: CAH , \: TOA}}} :

  • The first letter of each word represents the name of the function.
  • The second letter represents what's up the ratios sign.
  • The third one represents what's at the bottom of the ratio sign.

We write :


  • \sf{sin \: \theta = (opposite)/(hypotenuse) }

  • \sf{cos \: \theta = (adjacent)/(hypotenuse)}

  • \sf{tan \: \theta = (opposite)/(adjacent)}

Now , Let's work on it :

3. Based on the figure ( 3 ) , we know the hypotenuse ( i.e 15 ) & the angle 53° & we have to find the opposite ( x ).


\sf{ \sin(53) = (opposite)/(hypotenuse) }


\sf{0.79 = (x)/(15)}


\sf{x = 11.85}

----------------------------------------------------------------

5. Based on the figure ( 4 ) , we know the adjacent ( i.e 13 cm & the angle 60° & we have to find the opposite ( x ).


\sf{ \tan(60}) = (opposite)/(adjacent)


\sf{ √(3) = (x)/(13) }


\sf{x = 13 √(3)} cm

And we're done !

Hope I helped ! ツ

Have a wonderful day / night ! ♡
