Answer:

3rd one

Explanation:

Recall that

Sin = opposite over hypotenuse

Cos = adjacent over hypotenuse

Tan = opposite over adjacent

For the angle with a measure of 30 degrees we are given it's adjacent side length and need to find it's opposite side length

When dealing with opposite and adjacent we use tangent

If tan = opposite over adjacent

Then tan30 = x / 15 and the correct answer choice is the third one

Answer:

tan 30 = x / 15

General Formulas and Concepts:

Trigonometry

  • [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
  • [Right Triangles Only] tanθ = opposite over adjacent

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify variables

Angle θ = 30°

Opposite Leg = x

Adjacent Leg = 15

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Substitute in variables [tangent]: tan 30 = x / 15
