Question

Solving the missing side. Find the missing side. Round to the nearest tenth. Please show your work. Part 3. #9-10

​

Answer 1

9. 16.6 units

10. 18.1 units

Explanation:

9. We are given the opposite and adjacent sides of the angle 38 degrees, so we want to use tangent, which is opposite / adjacent:

`tan(38)=13/x`

`x=13/tan(38)` ≈ 16.6 units

10. We are given the adjacent and hypotenuse sides of the angle 25 degrees, so we want to use cosine, which is adjacent / hypotenuse:

`cos(25)=x/20`

`x=20*cos(25)` ≈ 18.1 units

Hope this helps!
