Question

Solve the right triangle.
Round your answers to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

20.8

Explanation:

tan = opposite/ adjacent

opposite = tan * adjacent

opposite = 1,482561 * 14 = 20,755854

Answer 2

20.8 =x

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opp / adj

tan 56 = x/ 14

14 tan 56 =x

20.75585356 =x

To the nearest tenth

20.8 =x
