Find the value of each variable. Round your answers to the nearest tenth. (Soh Coh Toa)

Answer:
k = 8.4, j = 13.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for k:
[tex]tan(40)=\frac{k}{10}\\10(tan(40))=k\\8.4=k[/tex]
Solve for j:
[tex]8.4^2+10^2=j^2\\70.56+100=j^2\\170.56=j^2\\13.1=j[/tex]
Answer:
k = 10 tan (40) = 8.39 (to 2 decimals)
J = 10 / cos(40) = 13.05 (to 2 decimals)
Step-by-step explanation:
It is SOH CAH TOA, or
Sin = Opposite / Hypotenuse
Cos = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
Tan = Opposite / Adjacent
Using SOH CAH TOA,
tan(40) = k/10, so k = 10 tan (40) = 8.39 (to 2 decimals)
cos(40) = 10 / j, so J = 10 / cos(40) = 13.05 (to 2 decimals)
