If you looks at the well drawn picture that I drew, you'll notice that we notice that we can use the trigonometric ratio tan; in this case:

tan58=\frac{10}{x}
Solving this, we get:
x=\frac{10}{tan58}
Which gets us that x=6.25 (approximately)

(It really wasn't that great of a picture but still :D)

:)

Three fifths of the cast in a musical have to sing.What fraction on the cast does not have to sing?
notka56 [123]
The term "three fifths" is equivalent to \frac{3}{5}.
If \frac{3}{5} of the cast is singing, then we just have to find the rest of the fraction.
1- \frac{3}{5} \\  \frac{5}{5}- \frac{3}{5}    \\  \frac{2}{5}

Please help me guys!!! Value of X?
Arturiano [62]
The value of X is 56.66°. The sine of X (opposite/hypotenuse) is 66mm/79mm. When finding angle measurements, you would use sin−1 instead of sin, which is used for finding side lengths. So, X= sin−1(66/79). This then results to 56.66° after using the trig functions in a calculator.
