Question

10 points!! Help me out please!!

Answer 1

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:

  $tan(58)=\frac{22}{x} \\22=x*tan(58)\\x=\frac{22}{tan(58)} \\x=13.75$

Answer: 13.8 (rounded to nearest tenth)

Hope that helps!
