Cosine = adjacent over hypotenuse
Tangent = opposite over hypotenuse
I won't solve all of these for you because I find that solving it on your own is an important step in learning to actually understand how this works.
To solve this you would make a triangle, Assuming you had a piece of paper.
It would look like the picture included (where ever that is) sorry for the horrible drawing with mouse.
You can then you Pythagorean Theorem to solve this
width will be (a)
put in your variables
Subtract 5184 over and get
square root both sides and get
a=54
the field is 54 meters wide
