OOPS, maybe a little doubt would be good on this one.
G/HYP does = SIN X, but you have two unknowns, since the base is fixed at
24.
G = HYP*SIN X doesn't help, since we don't know the hypotenuse.
As Tin said, TAN X = G/24, so G = 24 TAN X.


You are right, I was mixing up my sides, the tangent is correct.
