Question

what trigonometric expression can be used to find the value of x? replace a and b with the correct values.

Answer 1

The trigonometric function that can be used to find the value of x is 12 / tan ( 25 ) . The correct values of a and b will be 12 and 25 resp . .

Given :

A right angle triangle , one angle = 25 ° and side opposite given angle = 12 units .

Trigonometric Formula for Tan θ

tan θ = perpendicular / base , tan θ = ( sin θ / cos θ ) , tan θ = ( 1 / cot θ ) .

where θ = 25 , perpendicular = 12 , base = x .

Substituting values in above first formula ,

tan 25 = 12 / x

Therefore , x = 12 / tan ( 25 ) .

Hence , a = 12 and b = 25 .
