Let
and
means the angle whose tangent is .
The tangent is so let's draw a right triangle
containing angle by using the numerator of , which
is 5, for the opposite side, and using the denominator of ,
which is for the opposite side.
means the angle whose sine is .
The sine is so let's draw another right triangle
containing angle by using the numerator of , which is
3, for the opposite side, and using the denominator of , which
is for the hypotenuse.
We calculate the hypotenuse of the first right triangle and
the adjacent side to in the second one:
Put those values on the triangles:
