Answer:

The value of n is 5

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of n

To get this, we will need to use the appropriate trigonometric identity

As we can see, n represents the opposite as it the side that faces the angle given

m is the hypotenuse as it is the side that faces the right angle

The last side is called the adjacent

The trigonometric identity we want to use is that which connects the opposite to the adjacent

The appropriate trigonometric identity to use in this case is the tan

Thus;

Mathematically, the tan is the ratio of the opposite to the adjacent

hence;

tan 30 = n/ 5 √3

n = 5 √3 * 1/ √3

n = 5
