Question

How to do this question I am having a problem trying to do it

Answer 1

`\text {tan} (x) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text {adjacent}}`


`\text {tan} (30) = \frac{\text{x}}{\text {26}}`


`x = 26 * \text {tan} (30)`


`x = 15.01 \text { units}`

Answer 2

Hey there :)

We need to use trigonometry here
Given is the angle = 30°
And one side = 26
With a missing side = x

The missing side is the opposite of the given angle, we have the adjacent but we don't know the value of the hypotenuse, so we need to use Tangent

Tan α =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)`
tan 30 =
`(x)/(26)`
26tan(30) = x
x = 15
