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 opposite to the 27-degree angle

Let's examine what the problem gives us:

  • the length of the side adjacent to the 27-degree angle
  • the angle that has a measure of 27-degrees

Let's solve:


tan(27)=(x)/(15) \\x=15*tan(27)\\x=7.64

Answer: 7.6 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Hope that helps!
