Answer:

3. x= 20.1

4. x = 22.0

Explanation:

SohCahToa. S= sin, C= cos, T=tan.

o = Opposite (the side on the other side of the given angle, also referred to as theta.)

h = Hypotenuse (the side on the other side of the right angle, represented as the square thing.)

a = Adjacent (side next to the given angle.)

3. We have opposite = x, adjacent = 24. We can use tan (Toa.)

tan(40º) = x/24 Multiply both sides times 24.

x = 24*tan(40º) Put into calculator

x = 20.1

4. We have adjacent = 12, hypotenuse = x. We can use cos (Cah.)

cos(57º) = 12/x Multiply both sides by x

x*cos(57º) = 12 Divide by cos(57º)

x = 12/cos(57º) Put into calculator

x = 22.0
