Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Apply trigonometric bratio formula where applicable, to find the value of x in each case. Recall the acronym, SOHCAHTOA. This will help toe ash determine which ratio formula to use depending on the information given.

4.
\theta = 33

Opp = x

Hyp = 14

Therefore, apply SOH. Which is,


sin(33) = (x)/(14)

Multiply both sides by 14


sin(33)*14 = x


7.6 = x (nearest tenth)

5.
\theta = 29

Adj = x

Hyp = 14

Therefore, apply CAH. Which is,


cos(37) = (x)/(14)

Multiply both sides by 14


cos(37)*14 = x


11.2 = x (nearest tenth)

6.
\theta = 29

Opp = x

Adj = 5.4

Therefore, apply TOA. Which is,


tan(29) = (x)/(5.4)

Multiply both sides by 5.4


tan(29)*5.4 = x


3.0 = x (nearest tenth)

7.
\theta = 55

Opp = x

Adj = 33

Therefore, apply TOA. Which is,


tan(55) = (x)/(33)

Multiply both sides by 33


tan(55)*33 = x


47.1 = x (nearest tenth)
