Question

Fill in the blank. In the triangle below, x= Round your answer to twodecimal places.

Answer 1

ANSWER :

x = 44.80

EXPLANATION :

Using tangent function :

$\tan\theta=\frac{\text{ opposite}}{\text{ adjacent}}$

The opposite side to the angle of 52 degrees is x and the adjacent side is 35

That will be :

$\begin{gathered} \tan52=\frac{x}{35} \\ \\ x=35\tan52 \\ x=44.798\sim44.80 \end{gathered}$
