Question

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ITS REALLY URGENT THANKS

Answer 1

The equation for the missing side is
`\tan 41^(\circ) = (4)/(x)`, whose solution is x = 4.601.

How to find the measure of the missing side of right triangle

In this question we find the representation of a right triangle with one known side and a known angle, the known side is opposite to angle. The unknown side can be found by means of the following trigonometric function:

`\tan \theta = (y)/(x)`

Where:

• θ - Angle, in degrees.
• y - Length of the side opposite to angle.
• x - Length of the side adjacent to angle.

If we know that y = 4 and θ = 41º, then the length of the side adjacent to angle:

`\tan 41^(\circ) = (4)/(x)`

`x = (4)/(\tan 41^(\circ))`

x = 4.601
