Answer:

n = 5

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig

tan theta = opp /adj

tan 30 = n / 5 sqrt(3)

5 sqrt(3) tan 30 = n

5 sqrt(3) * 1/ sqrt(3) = n

5 = n

Now we have to,

find the required value of n.

Now we can,

Use the trigonometric functions.

→ tan(θ) = opp/adj

Let's find the required value of n,

→ tan (θ) = opp/adj

→ tan (30) = n/5√3

→ n = 5√3 × tan (30)

→ n = 5√3 × √3/3

→ n = 5√3 × 1/√3

→ [n = 5]

Hence, the value of n is 5.
