Use the trig ratio which gives you the most information. Here we have opposite and hypotenuse relative to angle x, so think sin( x ) = 14.1 / 27.9

Now we want to solve for x, but x is stuck inside the sine function
So how do we do this?
We can 'undo' the sine function by using the inverse sine. apply the inverse sin to both sides of the equation.
sin^-1 ( sin(x) )  =  sin^-1 ( 14.1 / 27.9)
<span>The left side 'cancels' , leaving you with x </span>
<span>x = sin^-1 ( 14.1 / 27.9)
</span><span>Now you need a calculator.
</span>Make sure you are in degree mode.
<span>Calculators can give you answer in radian or degree.
</span><span>If you get a decimal answer, you are probably in radian mode. 
</span>Round up if you want nearest hundredth
<span>30.3563 ≈ 30.36
</span>Or you can round to the nearest tenth
30.36 ≈ 30.4
Hope this helps! :)

How do you find the area of a circle equation easy? (Also to find points on circle using the equation)
baherus [9]

the area of a circle is A = πr², where r = radius of the circle.

how to find points in the circle? depends on what the scenario is, if you know circle's center and its radius, simply use the distance formula to get any of the points, if you have only the equation of it in standard form, you can use the x,y coordinates with substitution, if you have an sketch, you can get them off the grid, so depends on what you have as components.

The dimensions of a figure are doubled, how many times larger will the volume be? Only enter numerical answers
Doss [256]

Answer:if you double all of the dimensions of a rectangular prism, you create a similar prism with a scale factor of 2. The surface area of the similar prism will increase as the square of the scale factor (22 = 4) and the volume will increase as the cube of the scale factor (23 = 8).
