i know that pCosX = 6 and 0.2(pSinX+25)= 6

pSinx = 5
pCosx = 6

how do i solve for X.. I'm not sure how this works

What do you mean by psin(x)? What does the p stands for? Is it a variable?
 
nvm... its constant

Hi DeanBH! :smile:

Hint: whenever you have cos and sin (and nothing else), rearrange, take squares, and add. :smile:
