Things to remember:

Sin = Opposite / Hypotenuse

Cos = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

Tan = Opposite / Adjacent

Whatever 2 terms you have in your equation are the ones you will use to determine Sin/Cos/Tan. For example, in question 21, the “X” was adjacent to your given angle (74°). The hypotenuse was 12, so you would use Cos since your two terms are Adjacent / Hypotenuse.

Also remember, the hypotenuse is the side opposite of the 90° angle.

The opposite side is the side opposite of the angle given (Not 90°).


The adjacent side is the side adjacent to the angle given (Also not 90°).

Answer:

Explanation:

take 74 degree as reference angle

using cos rule

cos 74 =adjacent/hypotenuse

0.275=x/12

12*0.275=x

3.3=x

take 36 degree as reference angle

using sin rule

sin 36=opposite/hypotenuse

0.587=x/11

0.587*11=x

6.457=x

6.5=x

take 39 degree as reference angle

using tan rule

tan 39=opposite/adjacent

0.809=13/x

x=13/0.809

x=16.06

x=16.1

take 16 degree as reference angle

using tan rule

tan 16=opposite /adjacent

0.286=x/14

0.286*14=x

4.00=x

4.0=x

x=
