Question

To get started find x, we need to ask ourselves a few questions...
a. What angle have they given us?
The problem tells us that angle B is 36degrees. So we are going to use it.
b.Now, label the sides that you have info about with A, O , H

A 

c. Which trig function are you going to use based on how you labeled the triangle?
HINT: You can find the trig functions on the Geometry formula chart, in your guided notes for unit 2 orremember SOH CAH TOA
(1 point)
tan (36)
sin (36)
cos (36)

Answer 1

I don't see the triangle or which side is x, so I can't pick the exact function yet. Tell me which side is x (or send the diagram). Meanwhile, here is how to decide:

1. Look from angle B and label:
- H = hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)
- O = side opposite angle B
- A = side adjacent to angle B (the other non‑hypotenuse side)

2. Choose the trig ratio using SOH CAH TOA:
- sin(36) = opposite / hypotenuse
- cos(36) = adjacent / hypotenuse
- tan(36) = opposite / adjacent

So:
- If x is the opposite side and you know the hypotenuse → use sin(36).
- If x is the adjacent side and you know the hypotenuse → use cos(36).
- If x is the opposite side and you know the adjacent → use tan(36).

Send which side is x (or the lengths given) and I will pick the correct function and solve for x.
