Question

This is the answer to the question
It is 9.9cm

Answer 1

9.9cm

Explanation:

If side h cm is opposite of 51° and side 8cm is adjacent to 51°, use the tangent function to calculate the opposite side h cm:

tan(51°)=opposite/adjacent=h/8

tan(51°)=h/8

8tan(51°)=h

9.879177252=h

9.9=h

Therefore, the value of h is 9.9cm
