1. The problem involves a triangle with sides 90 cm, 130 cm, and a side labeled $e$. Angles opposite these sides are $f$ and $g$. We want to find equations for $e$, $f$, and $g$ using SOHCAHTOA.
2. SOHCAHTOA relates sides and angles in right triangles:
- Sine: $\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
- Cosine: $\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
- Tangent: $\tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$
3. Identify sides relative to angles $f$ and $g$:
- For angle $f$, opposite side is $e$, adjacent side is 90 cm, hypotenuse is 130 cm.
- For angle $g$, opposite side is 90 cm, adjacent side is $e$, hypotenuse is 130 cm.
4. Write equations:
- Using sine for angle $f$: $$\sin(f) = \frac{e}{130} \implies e = 130 \sin(f)$$
- Using cosine for angle $f$: $$\cos(f) = \frac{90}{130}$$ (can find $f$ from this)
- Using tangent for angle $g$: $$\tan(g) = \frac{90}{e} \implies g = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{90}{e}\right)$$
5. Summary of equations:
$$e = 130 \sin(f)$$
$$f = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{90}{130}\right)$$
$$g = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{90}{e}\right)$$
These use SOHCAHTOA to relate sides and angles in the triangle.
