|---|---|
\(\cos 42 = \dfrac{x}{9.5}\) or \(\tan 42 = \dfrac{9.5\sin 42}{x}\) or \(\sin(90 - 42) = \dfrac{x}{9.5}\) or \(\dfrac{x}{\sin 48} = \dfrac{9.5}{\sin 90}\) or \(9.5^2 - (9.5\sin 42)^2\) | M1 |
(\(x\) =) \(9.5\cos 42\) or (\(x\) =) \(\dfrac{9.5\sin 42}{\tan 42}\) or (\(x\) =) \(9.5\sin(90 - 42)\) or (\(x\) =) \(\dfrac{9.5\sin 48}{\sin 90}\) or (\(x\) =) \(\sqrt{9.5^2 - (9.5\sin 42)^2}\) | M1 |
