Answer: 1 cm

Explanation:

Use sohcahtoa and because you are want to find bc(which is the opposite) and we have been given the adjacent so we use tan

So tan29=o/1.8

x=1.8 on both sides so you get

1.8xtan29=o

O=0.9977562926

Than round it to whatever it needs to be rounded to so I rounded it to 1 decimal place which gives you 1
