Question

Can anyone help? soh cah toa trig question to the nearest tenth of a foot?

Answer 1

x = 2.7 feet

Explanation:

Use tan to find the value of x

tan 44 =
`(x)/(2.8)` Simplify

0.9657 =
`(x)/(2.8)` Multiply both sides by 2.8

x = 2.70396 Round this answer to the nearest tenth of a foot

x = 2.7 feet

Answer 2

About 2.7 feet

Explanation:

The tangent of an angle is equivalent to the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side:

`\tan 44=(x)/(2.8)\\\\x=2.8 \cdot \tan 44\approx 2.7`

Hope this helps!
