Question

Can anyone help pls? Thanks much appreciated

Answer 1

x ≈ 5.7

Explanation:

Recall, SOH CAH TOA.

We are given:

Reference angle = 35°

Opposite side length to reference angle = 4

Adjacent side = x

To find x, apply the trigonometric equation, TOA, which is:

Tan 35° = Opp/Adj

Substitute

Tan 35° = 4/x

x*Tan 35° = 4

x = 4/Tan 35°

x ≈ 5.7
