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

The formula for a trapezoid relates the area A, the two bases, a and b, and the height, h. A=h ( a+b ) 2 Solve for b.
Lelu [443]
I believe the right equation for determining the area of a trapezoid is as below,
     A = h(a + b)/2

To determine the expression for b which is the length of one of its bases, we multiply the equation by 2.
    
    2A = h(a + b)

Then, divide both sides of the equation by h,

    2A/h = a + b

Then, subtract a from both sides of the equation,
    2A/h - a = b

Lastly, interchange the sides of the equation to reveal the answer.
<em>     </em>
<em>   b = 2A/h - a </em>
