We use Tan in this case:

Tan=(opposite/adjacent)

Tan(36)=23/x

x=23/Tan(36)

x=31.64 length

Hope it helps!

Answer:

x ≈ 31.64

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Trigonometric ratios</u>

\sf \sin(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{H}\quad\cos(\theta)=\dfrac{A}{H}\quad\tan(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{A}

where:

  • \theta is the angle
  • O is the side opposite the angle
  • A is the side adjacent the angle
  • H is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

Given:

  • sin 36° ≈ 0.588
  • cos 36° ≈ 0.809
  • tan 36° ≈ 0.727

The given trigonometric ratios all use the angle of 36°.

From inspection of the given diagram:

  • x is the side <u>adjacent</u> to the angle of 36°
  • 23 is the side <u>opposite</u> to the angle of 36°

Therefore, we should use the <u>tan trig ratio</u>.

\implies \sf \tan(36^{\circ})=\dfrac{23}{x}

\implies \sf x=\dfrac{23}{\tan(36^{\circ})}

Substituting the given value for tan 36°:

\implies \sf x \approx \dfrac{23}{0.727}

\implies \sf x\approx31.64

Answer:

Bisecting an angle ⇒ answer a

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets revise the steps of bisecting an angle</em>

- <em><u>How to construct a bisector of angle XYZ</u></em>

1. Open the compass to any width, and place its pin at the angle’s

   vertex Y and draw an arc cuts the two rays of the angle YX and YZ

   at two points M and N respectively

2. Open the compass to another width and place its pin at M and draw

    an arc between the two rays YX and YZ

3. Without changing the width of the compass place its pin at N and

   draw another arc intersects the arc from M at point Q

4. Join YQ which is the bisector of angle XYZ

* <em>Now lets compare these steps by the steps of the question</em>

∵ The vertex of the angle ABC is A represented by Y

∵ The rays of the angle AC and AB represented by YX and YZ

∵ Points D , E represented by points M , N

∴ The construction is " Bisecting an angle "
