Answer:

52.2 ≈ x

Explanation:

What we know:

-we see a right triangle

-we have one angle 75°

-we have one side 14

What we need to find:

-we need to find side x rounded to the nearest tenth

Solution:

tan α = opposite side to the angle α / adjacent side to the angle α

tan 75 = x / 14 , multiply both sides by 14

14 · tan 75 = x , use the calculator to multiply (make sure is set in degrees)

52.24871131 = x , round to the nearest tenth

52.2 ≈ x
