Answer:

5) 34° 6) 17° 7) ? 8) ? 9) 50° 10) ? You do 7, 8 and 10

Explanation:

Let x = the measure of the unknown angle in each case

5) tan x = 10/15 arctan 10/15 = 34

6) tan x = 10/32 arctan 10/32 = 17

7) tan x = 3/8 You do this one

8) tan x = 4/6 You do this one

9) sin x = 26/34 arcsin 26/34 = 50

10) tan x = 20/37 You do this one

You need to learn the definitions of sin, cos, tan, i.e sin x = opp/hyp

cos x = adj/hyp and tanx = opp/adj

opp means opposite side of x

adj means the leg of the right triangle that is a side of x

hyp means the hypotenuse of the right triangle
