Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem, one must use the trigonometric ratios. These ratios are the following,

Remember, each side is named relative to the angle, thus sides will attain different names depending on the angle which one sues to calculate with.
In this case, one is given the measure of the angle, and the measure of the side opposite to the angle. One is asked to find the measure of the side adjacent to the angle. Use the trigonometric ratio (
) to solve for the unknown. Substitute in the given values,

Manipulate the equation such that it is solved for the parameter(x),

EXPLANATION
Let us find the gradient of the line:
by rewriting it in the slope intercept form.

We divide through by 4 now;

This is now in the form;

where
is he slope.
This implies that the slope of the line that is perpendicular to this line will be the negative reciprocal of
.
Thus the perpendicular line has slope,
.
Let the perpendicular line have equation,

When we substitute the slope we have;

We substitute the point.
to find c.



We substitute c to obtain;
