Question

Which of the following would you use to solve for the missing segment

Answer 1

tanθ

Explanation:

SOH CAH TOA

(sin=opposite over hypotenuse) (cos=Adjacent over Hypotenuse) (Tan=Opposite over adjacent)

You have the adjacent side and you are looking for the opposite side so you would use tanθ to find the length of x

Answer 2

tan θ

Explanation:

The value X, is the opposite of your angle 24°, and you have the value of the line adjacent to your angle (12)

Tan θ =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)`
