(2.68)/(sin(126))=(1.2)/(sin(x))

Solution

\frac{2.68}{sin ( 12 6 ^{\circ} )} = \frac{1.2}{sin ( x )}

Solution

x = 0.37067 \dots + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} - 0.37067 \dots + 36 0^{\circ} n

Radians

x = 0.37067 \dots + 2 πn, x = π - 0.37067 \dots + 2 πn

Solution steps

\frac{2.68}{sin ( 12 6 ^{\circ} )} = \frac{1.2}{sin ( x )}

sin (12 6^{\circ}) = \frac{5 + 1}{4}

sin (12 6^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (3 6^{\circ})

sin (12 6^{\circ})

Use the following identity:

sin (x) = cos (9 0^{\circ} - x)

= cos (9 0^{\circ} - 12 6^{\circ})

Simplify:

9 0^{\circ} - 12 6^{\circ} = - 3 6^{\circ}

For

9 0^{\circ} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

5

9 0^{\circ} = \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} 5}{2 \cdot 5} = 9 0^{\circ}

= 9 0^{\circ} - 12 6^{\circ}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} 5 - 126 0 ^{\circ}}{10}

Add similar elements:

90 0^{\circ} - 126 0^{\circ} = - 36 0^{\circ}

= \frac{- 36 0 ^{\circ}}{10}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - 3 6^{\circ}

Cancel the common factor:

= - 3 6^{\circ}

= cos (- 3 6^{\circ})

Use the following property:

cos (- x) = cos (x)

cos (- 3 6^{\circ}) = cos (3 6^{\circ})

= cos (3 6^{\circ})

= cos (3 6^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

Use the following product to sum identity:

2 sin (x) cos (y) = sin (x + y) - sin (x - y)

2 cos (3 6^{\circ}) sin (1 8^{\circ}) = sin (5 4^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ})

Show that:

Use the Double Angle identity:

sin (2 x) = 2 sin (x) cos (x)

sin (7 2^{\circ}) = 2 sin (3 6^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ})

sin (7 2^{\circ}) sin (3 6^{\circ}) = 4 sin (3 6^{\circ}) sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

Divide both sides by

sin (3 6^{\circ})

sin (7 2^{\circ}) = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

Use the following identity:

sin (x) = cos (9 0^{\circ} - x)

cos (9 0^{\circ} - 7 2^{\circ}) = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

cos (1 8^{\circ}) = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

\frac{1}{2} = 2 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ})

Substitute

\frac{1}{2} = 2 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ})

\frac{1}{2} = sin (5 4^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ})

sin (5 4^{\circ}) = cos (9 0^{\circ} - 5 4^{\circ})

\frac{1}{2} = cos (9 0^{\circ} - 5 4^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ})

\frac{1}{2} = cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ})

Show that:

cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{5}{4}

Use the factorization rule:

a^{2} - b^{2} = (a + b) (a - b)

a = cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ})

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} - (cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} = ((cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ})) + (cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ}))) ((cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ})) - (cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ})))

Refine

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} - (cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} = 2 (2 cos (3 6^{\circ}) sin (1 8^{\circ}))

sin (7 2^{\circ}) sin (3 6^{\circ}) = 4 sin (3 6^{\circ}) sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

Divide both sides by

sin (3 6^{\circ})

sin (7 2^{\circ}) = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

Use the following identity:

sin (x) = cos (9 0^{\circ} - x)

sin (7 2^{\circ}) = cos (9 0^{\circ} - 7 2^{\circ})

cos (9 0^{\circ} - 7 2^{\circ}) = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

cos (1 8^{\circ}) = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

Divide both sides by

cos (1 8^{\circ})

1 = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ})

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{1}{2} = 2 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ})

Substitute

2 cos (3 6^{\circ}) sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} - (cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} = 1

Substitute

cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} - (\frac{1}{2})^{2} = 1

Refine

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} - \frac{1}{4} = 1

Add

\frac{1}{4}

to both sides

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} - \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = 1 + \frac{1}{4}

Refine

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} = \frac{5}{4}

Take the square root of both sides

cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \pm \frac{5}{4}

cos (3 6^{\circ})

cannot be negative

sin (1 8^{\circ})

cannot be negative

cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{5}{4}

Add the following equations

cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{5}{2}

((cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ})) + (cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ}))) = (\frac{5}{2} + \frac{1}{2})

Refine

cos (3 6^{\circ}) = \frac{5 + 1}{4}

= \frac{5 + 1}{4}

= \frac{5 + 1}{4}

Cross multiply

\frac{2.68}{\frac{5 + 1}{4}} = \frac{1.2}{sin ( x )}

Apply fraction cross multiply: if

\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}

then

a \cdot d = b \cdot c

2.68 sin (x) = \frac{5 + 1}{4} \cdot 1.2

Simplify

\frac{5 + 1}{4} \cdot 1.2 : \frac{1.2 ( 5 + 1 )}{4}

\frac{5 + 1}{4} \cdot 1.2

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{( 5 + 1 ) \cdot 1.2}{4}

2.68 sin (x) = \frac{1.2 ( 5 + 1 )}{4}

2.68 sin (x) = \frac{1.2 ( 5 + 1 )}{4}

Multiply both sides by

100

2.68 sin (x) = \frac{1.2 ( 5 + 1 )}{4}

To eliminate decimal points, multiply by 10 for every digit after the decimal pointThere are

2

digits to the right of the decimal point, therefore multiply by

100

2.68 sin (x) \cdot 100 = \frac{1.2 ( 5 + 1 )}{4} \cdot 100

Refine

268 sin (x) = 30 (1 + 5)

268 sin (x) = 30 (1 + 5)

Divide both sides by

268

268 sin (x) = 30 (1 + 5)

Divide both sides by

268

\frac{268 sin ( x )}{268} = \frac{30 ( 1 + 5 )}{268}
