Question

Select the correct formula to solve for x.
cos (33) = x/14
sin (33) = x/14
cos (33) = 14/x
sin (33) = 14/x

Answer 1

Answer: Choice B)   sin (33) = x/14

This is because the sine of an angle is equal to the opposite side over the hypotenuse

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(33) = x/14

We can't use cosine because we don't have a variable for the adjacent side.

Answer 2

The answer is B. Cos(33)
