Explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

The triangle is a right angled triangle, whose one side is 26 and another side is X. It has also one angle that is 41°.

Now, taking reference angle as angle 41°. We get;

Perpendicular= 26

Base = X

and Reference angle = 41°.

We know that the ratio of tan is p/b. So, let's use this ratio.


\tan(41°) = (26)/(x)


0.869 * x = 26


x = (26)/(0.869)

Therefore, The value of x is 29.90.

Hope it helps...
