\n" ); document.write( "Draw out the triangle\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The known side (b = 8) and the unknown side (side 'a') are legs of the right triangle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We will use the tangent function.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "tan(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( "tan(A) = a/b
\n" ); document.write( "tan(29) = a/8
\n" ); document.write( "8*tan(29) = a
\n" ); document.write( "a = 8*tan(29)
\n" ); document.write( "a = 4.43447241162216
\n" ); document.write( "a = 4.4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore side 'a' is roughly 4.4 units long\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
