Answer 2

10.5 in

Explanation:

Given

`tan(55) = (15)/(b)`

Required

Find length AC

The question is not detailed enough; so, I'll assume that b represents line AC.

Having said that;

We start by multiplying both sides by b

`tan(55) = (15)/(b)`

`b * tan(55) = (15)/(b) * b`

`b * tan(55) =15`

Divide both sides by tan(55)

`(b * tan(55))/(tan(55)) = (15)/(tan(55))`

`b = (15)/(tan(55))`

Find tan(55)

`b = (15)/(1.42814800674)`

`b = 10.5031130731`

`b = 10.5` (Approximated)

Length AC is 10.5
