Question

Find the length of AC. Round answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

16.0

Explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship ...

... Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

... tan(32°) = 10/AC

Multiply by AC and divide by tan(32°) to get ...

... AC = 10/tan(32°) ≈ 16.0033 ≈ 16.0
