Answer:
Explanation:
A tiny hint. When you are looking for the opposite side of a triangle and the function you use is the tangent, the side opposite is always going to be larger than the side adjacent. That happens when theta is greater than 1 when the angle is larger than 45.
Phew! I didn't know the hint was going to be that long.
The trig function that does not involve the hypotenuse is the Tangent or Tan(x).
C
Tan(x) = opposite / Adjacent.
The opposite side is the side not connected to the reference angle (x)
The adjacent side makes up the angle and is not the hypotenuse.
Tan(46) = 1.036
Side adjacent = 8
So the answer is either A or C. I'm guessing it's C.
Tan(46) = x/8
1.036 = x / 8 Multiply by 8
8*1.036 = x
x = 8.28
