Answer:
WX = 7.9
Step-by-step explanation:
By applying tangent rule (law of tan) in the given right triangle WXY.
tan(W) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}[/tex]
tan(27)° = [tex]\frac{\text{XY}}{\text{WX}}[/tex]
0.509525 = [tex]\frac{4}{\text{WX}}[/tex]
WX = [tex]\frac{4}{0.509525}[/tex]
WX = 7.85
WX ≈ 7.9
Therefore, length of side WX is 7.9 units.
