Answer:

1. 7.3

2. 33.3

3. 21.3

4. 31.9

5. 25.6

6. 11.0

7. 42°

8. 64°

9. 13°

10. 51°

Explanation:

make sure if you're using a math calculator that it is in degree mode.

SIN, COS, OR TAN. SOH CAH TOA. Sin is Opposite/hypotenus.

Cos is Adjacent(next to it)/hypotenus.

Tan is Opposite/Adjacent.

~~

PROBLEM 1:

So we have 63°, 16 as hypotenus, and x as one of the legs.

1. Figure out whether it is Sin, Cos, or Tan. (It's adj and hyp. of the angle degree (63° listed so it's cos.)

2. Once you set it up, it is Cos 63°= x/16 then flip it around. which makes it 16 COS 63= X.

3. Input it into your calculator as 16cos(63, then it will give you.. 7.263847996

4. Don't forget to round to the nearest tenth, which gives you

x = 7.3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PROBLEM 2:

Given: 39°, 27 is opposite of the °, and adj is x. So this is Tan.

1. Set it up, Tan 39° = 27/x can't solve this way so fix it.

2. rewritten as X = 27/tan39

3. round ur answer.

x = 33.3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PROBLEM 3:

Given: 49°, adj is 14, hyp is x. So this is Cos.

1. Set up according to CAH, Cos 49=(14/x).

We can't solve it this way since the X is on the bottom. So we have to fix it!

2. Turns into X Cos 49 = 14, which then turns into X= 14/cos49.

3. Put it in your calculator as 14 DIVIDED BY cos 49. ( Put image example)

4. Round.

x= 21.3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PROBLEM 4:

Given: 15°, 33 hyp, adj x. Which is Cos.

1. Cos 15= x/33 and rewrite.

2. Input as 33 cos(15 into calculator = 31.875...

3. Round to tenth.

x = 31.9

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PROBLEM 5:

Given: 52°, 20 adj of °, and x opp of °. Will use TAN.

1. Tan 52° = x/20

2. 20 Tan(52 into calculator

3. Round

x = 25.6

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PROBLEM 6:

Given: 27°, opp of ° is 5, hyp is x. Will use Sin.

1. Write out as I have the last few times, Sin 27 = 5/x rewrite cause x can't be at the bottom.

2. Input into calculator as: 5/sin 27 which equals 11.01...

3. Round.

x = 11.0

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PROBLEM 7:

Given: x°, 6 as hyp, 4 opp. now we have to solve this different since we don't know the degree. Now when we input into the calculator you will press 2nd, then sin/cos/tan so it will be negative this is depending on which one ur solving for.

We will be using SIN, x is still a °.

1. Sin X = 4/6 Rewrite.

2. X= Sin^-1 (4/6)

Make sure ur sin is negative in calculator when doing this.

3. It SHOULD give you 41.81, round.

x = 42°

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PROBLEM 8:

Given: x°, 29 opp, 14 adj. TAN.

1. Tan x°= 29/14 or..

2. X = Tan^-1(29/14) solve..

3. gives u 64.23.... round.

x = 64°

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PROBLEM 9:

Given: x°, hyp 54, opp 12. SIN

1. Sin x°=(12/54)

2. X= Sin^-1(12/54) solve. (dont put x= into calculator.)

3. Don't Forget to round, answer unrounded: 12.839..

x = 13°

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PROBLEM 10:

Given: x°, adj 25, hyp 40. COS

1. Cos x°=25/40 rewrite.

2. X= Cos^-1(25/40) Solve.

3. Round.

X= 51°
