Answer to Question #158276 in Trigonometry for Twylah

Question

Find the value of the x. Y is 30 degrees and side is 14

Answer 1

1) x =14 * $cos(30\degree)$ = 14 * $\sqrt{3}$ = 7 * $\sqrt{3}$

2) x = $sin(30\degree)$/14 = (1/2)/14 = 1/28

3) x = 14/$sin(30\degree)$ = 14/(1/2) = 28

4) x = 14/$cos(30\degree)$ = 14/($\sqrt{3}$/2) = 28/$\sqrt{3}$

5) x = 14/$cot(30\degree)$ = 14/$\sqrt{3}$

6) x = 14 * $cot(30\degree)$ = 14 * $\sqrt{3}$
