Question

I need to solve this to get zero can you help?

Answer 1

Since it is a right triangle, then you can use the trigonometric ratio

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

So, in this case, you have

`\begin{gathered} \theta=29\text{ \degree} \\ \text{ adjacent leg = 16} \\ \text{ opposite leg = x} \end{gathered}`

Applying the trigonometric ratio

`\begin{gathered} \tan (29)=(x)/(16) \\ \text{ Multiply by 16 on both sides of the equation} \\ \tan (29)\cdot16=(x)/(16)\cdot16 \\ \tan (29)\cdot16=x \\ 8.87=x \end{gathered}`
