Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

First, use trigonometric function to find RT.

θ = 60°

Opposite = 2√3

Hypotenuse = RT

Apply SOH:

Sin θ = Opp/Hyp

Plug in the values

Sin 60° = 2√3/RT

RT*Sin 60° = 2√3

Divide both sides by Sin 60°

RT = 2√3/sin 60°

RT = 2√3 × √3/2 (sin 60° = √3/2)

RT = (2√3 × √3)/2

RT = (2 × 3)/2

RT = 3

✔️Find x

θ = 45°

Opposite = x

Adjacent = 3

Apply TOA:

Tan θ = Opp/Adj

Substitute

Tan 45° = x/3

3 × Tan 45° = x

3 × 1 = x (tan 45° = 1)

3 = x

x = 3
