Question

In right triangle RST, ∠T is a right angle, m∠S=41∘, and ST=8. What is the measurement of RT? Enter the correct value. If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places, like this: 42.53

Answer 1

RT is 6.95 units long

Explanation:

Use tan to find the unknown measurement

tan 41 = x/8 Simplify

0.8692 = x/8 Multiply both sides by 8

6.9536 = x
