I've answered part a) of this question which was to find the exact length of AC. Now I need to answer part b). I'm not sure what to do.

Thank you.
Thanks. That makes sense.
I just find it difficult to approach these questions and I never know if I am actually getting anywhere or not.
Thanks for all the help everyone.
I understand all that, except for the second last line on the RHS. You go from \frac{sin\beta}{sin^{2}\beta+cos^{2}\beta} to sin\beta.
EDIT: sin^{2}\beta+cos^{2}\beta = 1, right? :)
Hey guys, trig identities are probably my biggest downfall when it comes to trigonometry and I am up to the final question for trig identities in my textbook, but I don't know how to approach it. So I was hoping I could get some help and also some advice on how you would usually approach a trig...
Hmm, so given the last question you'd approach it the same way then what?
\text{Acute angle = 45}
or as the first question actually is:
cos\theta = 0.187
Yeah, I understood that after I wrote it, my bad. I got the answer. Now I'm answering questions for -180 \le \theta \le 180 :)
What's the difference for that?
Solve. I'm not sure what to do when it's squared, that is all. If I square root both sides, I get \sqrt{1} on the right, but that isn't an exact value.
