Question

Hello can you assist me please i need to solo e and Identity sine cosine or tangent and identify opposite hypnose or adjeact #12

Answer 1

Solution (12):

Given the triangle;

The opposite side is labelled as x and the adjacent side is 17.

Using the tangent trigonometry ratio, we have;

`\tan\theta=(opposite)/(adjacent)`

Thus;

`\begin{gathered} \tan(51^o)=(x)/(17) \\ \\ x=17\tan(51^o) \\ \\ x=20.99 \\ \\ x\approx21 \end{gathered}`
