How do turn a math problem into a real world problem?

Based on the diagram, match the trigonometric ratios with the corresponding ratios of the sides of the triangle. tiles : cosb sinb tanb sincposs matches: c/b b/a b/c c/a

(c) the diagram shows the first three shapes of a matchsticks arrangement.first shape = 3second shape = 5third shape = 7given m represents the number of matchstick used to arrange the n'th shape.(i) write a formula to represent the relation between m and n. express m as the subjectof the formula.(ii) 19 matchsticks are used to make the p'th shape. find the value of p.

If tan2a=cot(a+60), find the value of a, where 2a is an acute angle
