4\left(\frac{1}{2}+\sin(\frac{\pi }{3})\right)=x\sin(\theta )
Get the value of \cos(\frac{\pi }{3}) from trigonometric values table.
4\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=x\sin(\theta )
Get the value of \sin(\frac{\pi }{3}) from trigonometric values table.
4\times \frac{1+\sqrt{3}}{2}=x\sin(\theta )
Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
2\left(1+\sqrt{3}\right)=x\sin(\theta )
Cancel out 2, the greatest common factor in 4 and 2.
2+2\sqrt{3}=x\sin(\theta )
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 1+\sqrt{3}.
x\sin(\theta )=2+2\sqrt{3}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\sin(\theta )x=2\sqrt{3}+2
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\sin(\theta )x}{\sin(\theta )}=\frac{2\sqrt{3}+2}{\sin(\theta )}
Divide both sides by \sin(\theta ).
x=\frac{2\sqrt{3}+2}{\sin(\theta )}
Dividing by \sin(\theta ) undoes the multiplication by \sin(\theta ).
x=\frac{2\left(\sqrt{3}+1\right)}{\sin(\theta )}
Divide 2+2\sqrt{3} by \sin(\theta ).
