Question

I want to know how to get the answer for x

Answer 1

8.73

Explanation:

Given right angle triangle have adjacent leg as 24.

Now finding the length of opposite leg of triangle.

Using the tangent rule to find the value of x

We know,
`tan\theta= (Opposite)/(Adjacent)`

`Tan\ 20= (x)/(24)`

Using the value of tan 20 degree

⇒
`0.3639= (x)/(24)`

Multiplying both side by 24

⇒
`0.3639* 24= x`

∴
`x= 8.73`

Hence, the value of x is 8.73.
