Question

Find the missing measure ; Help me understand how to solve this.

Answer 1

Use Soh Cah Toa. Soh(sin) is the Opposite side divided by the Hypotenuse side so in this case 21/20. Since we need the angle here we would use the inverse of sin. Your equation is Sin(x)=Opposite/Hypotenuse=21/20=1.05
Now solve sin(x)=1.05
Re-arange into
X=sin^-1 (1.05) but since you can’t have a inverse sin of a number more than one it is inconclusive or no answer
