The tangent represents the sides making up the right angle in a right angle triangle. To find out the answer to what you have asked, the simplest way is to assume that you are talking about a right angle triangle.

Step One

Find the hypotenuse. Use a variation of the Pythagorean Theorem.

opposite^2 + adjacent^2 = hypotenuse^2

5^2 + 12^2 = x^2

25 + 144 = x^2

x^2 = 169

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(169)

x = 13

Step Two

Find the sine.

When the tangent is given, the opposite in this case is 5.

That's because the opposite is always the numerator of a tangent.

Sin(theta) = 5/13 Answer

Find the length of the missing side in the figure below. a = _______ cm.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

\frac{2 \sqrt{177} }{5}

or

5.32cm correct to 2 decimal places

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right angled triangle from what I know so we have to apply pythagoras theorem.

{7.1}^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  +  {4.7}^{2}

we need to rearrange this to find a²

{a}^{2}  =  {7.1}^{2}  -  {4.7}^{2}

a =  \sqrt{ \frac{708}{25} }

This can either be written as a fraction or decimal.

a =  \frac{2 \sqrt{177} }{5}

OR

a = 5.32

correct to 2 decimal places
