To solve this, we need to use our trigonometric equations

⇒ look at the diagram attached

Let's examine what the problem wants:

  • the length of the side adjacent to the 58-degree angle

Let's examine what the problem gives us:

  • the length of the side opposite to the 58-degree angle
  • the angle that has a measure of 58-degrees

Let's solve:


tan(58)=(22)/(x) \\22=x*tan(58)\\x=(22)/(tan(58)) \\x=13.75

Answer: 13.8 (rounded to nearest tenth)

Hope that helps!
