Try asking a 10th grader. ;)

That's when I learn it. That's when I forgot it. :P

I tried chatgpt.

No idea what it's saying but from the end result it's clearly wrong

I pasted the picture into chatgpt
And got back 32.96

That's what it gave me at first. I said it's wrong then it gave the correct answer

correct
But done by hand. (using a calculator.  Although I'm old enough that we used  chart and did some of the calculations by hand.)

The method I was taught back in school:

SOHCATOA can only be used for right-angles, so split the triangle in half to get two 90 degree angles.

Then use TOA to get the answer. Tan(70)=6/x, with 6 being the line opposite the numbered angle, and the unknown side being the adjacent one.

Plug that into a calculator and end up with 2.18382... Now multiply that by 2 (for the complete triangle, not the chopped in half one), and get
4.368

I didn't learn trigonometry or at least I don't remember learning it. Definitely don't remember sohcahtoa

I don't either know how Tan is calculated. Likely too advanced for me

If you are waiting for your waiter to deliver your order, aren't you the "waiter"?

If you throw a cigarette off the boat, does it become a cigarette lighter?

Is it a cigarette boat or a different type of boat?

Went to smoke a cigarette last week. Started to go out the back door of the building, but it was raining, so I went to the front door, where it wasn't. The back was partly cloudy, the front was partly sunny. Welcome to FL.
