Answer:

1.40

Explanation:

When we look at the diagram, we want to find what is opposite and adjacent as well as the hypotenuse to the given degree.

AB = hypotenuse

BC = opposite

AC = adjacent

Since we are looking to find BC and we are given 2 on AC. We have opposite and adjacent which means we are using TOA in SOH-CAH-TOA. So aftrr identifying these, we can set up our equation:

tan (35) = x / 2

Tan(35) is .7002 so we can replace that part of our equation.

.7002 / 1 = x / 2

The 1 is there as a place holder. We can then cross multiply.

1 × x = 1

.7002 × 2 = 1.4004

The answer we have now is 1.4004, but we have to round to the nearest hundredth. So then, our final answer is 1.40.

BC = 1.40
