Question

Find AC. FIND X USING THE PICTURE. BELOW. WILL MARK BRANLIEST FOR FIRST ONE TO ANSWER

Answer 1

Answer:

AC ≈ 50.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan29° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{BC}{AC}$ = $\frac{28}{x}$ ( multiply both sides by x )

x × tan29° = 28 ( divide both sides by tan29° )

x = $\frac{28}{tan29}$ ≈ 50.5 ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer 2

Answer:

50.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the right triangle, focus on angle A.  The side marked 28 is the opposite side, and the side marked  x  is the adjacent side.  The trigonometric ratio that uses those two side is the tangent ratio.

tangent = (opposite) / (adjacent)

$\tan{29^\circ}=\frac{28}{x}$

Multiply both sides by  x.

$x\cdot \tan{29^\circ}=28$

Divide by tan 29 degrees.

$x=\frac{28}{\tan{29^\circ}}$

Use a calculator (in degree mode!) to approximate  x.

$x \approx 50.5$
