Question

Using a trigonometric ratio to find a side length in a right triangle ‼️Round to the nearest tenth‼️ Help please ❓ Thanks

Answer 1

x ≈ 10.8

Explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan29° =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)` =
`(6)/(x)`

Multiply both sides by x

x × tan29° = 6 ( divide both sides by tan29° )

x =
`(6)/(tan29)` ≈ 10.8 ( to the nearest tenth )
