Question

3
Solve for x. Round answer to the nearest tenth.
X
759
17

Answer 1

x ≈ 4.6

Explanation:

Reference angle = 75°

Opposite side to reference angle = 17

Adjacent side = x

Applying TOA:

Tan 75 = opp/adj

Tan 75 = 17/x

Multiply both sides by x

x*Tan 75 = 17

Divide both sides by Tan 75

x = 17/Tan 75

x ≈ 4.6
