Trigonometry

Hi, I know when doing trigonometry that if the if a side is at the bottom of ten equation so AB\8 =sin 60 that you would times the 8 by sin 60 but what would you do if the unknown is at the bottom? Sorry if it's too vague
Do you have a picture of the question?

No sorry😁

No sorry😁


I don't really understand the question
Do you mean when you're looking for an unknown side and you have one side and one angle?

It's fine, I've finally found something on it! Thanks anyway☺️

Alright then
Feel free to ask about any other maths questions though!

Hey is it possible for you to help me with this question?

(b) By writing the following equation as quadratics in tan θ/2, solve, in the
interval 0 θ 360°:

(i) sinθ + 2cosθ = 1

Well you would first work out what θ equals by using the trigonometric equations, then you would substitute θ into tan θ/2 to get the angle. I assume that is what you would do anyways, been a while since I've done trig.
Well when i checked on solutionbank,
the first step was to:
Let tan θ/2=t

Then it changed to:
2t/1+t^2 + 2(1-t^2)/1+t^2 = 1

I just dont get that
