Oooooh! big_smile Okay, thanks soo much. I am really starting to understand it now. big_smile

Oooh! I thought so! big_smile & yeah, it does. big_smile 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. tongue

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?

Sorry to double-post, but I think I am getting it more now. big_smile
However, how do I set it up? Do I do .8090/4.5? or 4.5/.8090? Eh!

Thanks for the nice welcome! big_smile 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!

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!
