Question

Find TU.Write your answer as an integer or as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth. TU = ___

Answer 1

In triangle STU, SU=4 units and angle T is 24 degrees.

To find TU use the ratio of tan to get:

`\begin{gathered} \tan 24=(SU)/(TU) \\ TU=(SU)/(tan24) \\ TU=(4)/(0.445228) \\ TU=8.98414 \\ TU\approx9 \end{gathered}`

Hence the value of TU is 9 units rounded to one decimal place.
