Question

Write your answer in simplest radical form​

Answer 1

s = 17

Explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

tan60° =
`√(3)` , then

tan60° =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)` =
`(17√(3) )/(s)` =
`√(3)` ( multiply both sides by s )

s ×
`√(3)` = 17
`√(3)` ( divide both sides by
`√(3)` )

s = 17
