Question

Find the measure of each side indicated. Round to the nearest tenth.

A) 19.8
C) 24.9
B) 27.2
D) 25.3
​

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{x = 25.3}`

Explanation:

Tan θ = opposite / adjacent

Where θ = 66.5 , opposite = x and adjacent = 11

Tan 66.5 = x / 11

2.3 * 11 = x

25.3 = x

OR

x = 25.3

Answer 2

D. 25.3

Explanation:

tan∅ = opposite over adjacent

Step 1: Write equation

tan66.5° = x/11

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 11

11tan66.5° = x

Step 3: Evaluate

x = 25.2983

x ≈ 25.3
