Question

6. Find the missing side. Round to the nearest tenth ​

Answer 1

tanØ=Perpendicular/Base

• tan66=17/x
• x=17/tan66
• x=7.57
• x=7.6

Answer 2

x = 7.6

Explanation:

We know the opposite side and the adj side and this is a right triangle

tan theta = opp / adj

tan 66 = 17/x

x tan 66 = 17

x = 17 /tan 66

x=7.56888

To the nearest tenth

x = 7.6
