Homework Statement
Calculate tan(arcsin(1/7))
Homework Equations
arcsinv = x => sinx = v
sinx = (opposite/hypotenuse) (in a right-angled triangle)
tanx = (opposite/adjacent)
The Attempt at a Solution
Well I realize that arcsin(1/7) is an angle. Let's call it v. I also know that arcsin(1/7) => sin(v) = 1/7.
So i try to picture myself a triangle like this:
After this I'm lost. I'd like to use tanx = o/a, but I only know the value of o. I'm not sure how these kind of problems are solved. Any ideas?
