Question

Can someone please help me with this trigonometry problem. I would highly appreciate it if you did​

Answer 1

x ≈ 16.52

Explanation:

Use the tangent ratio in the right triangle to find x

tan36° =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)` =
`(12)/(x)`

Multiply both sides by x

x × tan36° = 12 ( divide both sides by tan36° )

x = 12 / tan36° ≈ 16.52 ( to 2 dec. places )
