Oooooh!
Okay, thanks soo much. I am really starting to understand it now. ![]()
Oooh! I thought so!
& yeah, it does.
Thanks!
Okay so here's what I have so far:
2.3/5 = .46
Now how do I find out what X is ? X can't be .46...lol. I am getting it slowly!
So wait...I do 2.3/5? I get .46. Ack, this is soo confusing.
Okay, so I have to find the tangent right? The tangent of what number? Eh, sorry I'm confused. ![]()
I know how to find sides, but angles can be tricky...here's the problem:

I have to find the measure of the angle labeled X. Help?
Okay, thanks!
That really helped.
Sorry to double-post, but I think I am getting it more now.
However, how do I set it up? Do I do .8090/4.5? or 4.5/.8090? Eh!
Thanks for the nice welcome!
Ah, I don't really 'hate' it, but I do like it once I get to knowing how to do it. LOL, then it's pretty easy. Thanks!
Okay, I'll try that. Thanks you guys! ![]()
Thanks! ![]()
Hey you guys; I need some help on this hw problem...see, we're learning about tangents & cosines & stuff; but I am not grasping it *I was homeschooled last year, & I did ALGEBRA not this geometry, LOL!* so, I am trying to understand it easier.
Any help is appreciated.
Here's the problem:
It says 'Find the length of the missing side labeled x. Show your work.
Here's the pic of the problem, as I can't draw triangles on here very well:
Do you do a2+b2= C2?
or C2= a2+b2? Eh! & how do you convert the degrees or tell if it's a cosine, tangent or sine or not?
Thanks!
Hey, everyone! I'm 17, & I just joined this forum.
Sometimes math can be annoying, & I sometimes have trouble (right now I'm doing trig & algebra)- not fun! LOL!
Hope to get some help & make some friends around here, & I'm glad I found this place.
See 'ya around!
