Using trig to solve for missing angle

30.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: SOH CAH TOA

We are to solve for the missing side

First, label the sides:

Reference angle (θ) = 61°

x = Opposite (this is opposite to the reference angle)

17 = Adjacent

Hypotenuse = side opposite to right angle

Apply TOA, which is:

Tan θ = Opp/Adj

Plug in the values

Tan 61° = x/17

17*Tan 61° = x

30.6688118 = x

x ≈ 30.7 (approximated to nearest tenth)

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
