Question

How to do this question I am having a problem trying to do it

Answer 1

$\text {tan} (x) = \dfrac{\text{opposite}}{\text {adjacent}}$

$\text {tan} (30) = \dfrac{\text{x}}{\text {26}}$

$x = 26 \times \text {tan} (30)$

$x = 15.01 \text { units}$

Answer 2

Hey there :)

We need to use trigonometry here
Given is the angle   = 30°
And one side           = 26
With a missing side =  x

The missing side is the opposite of the given angle, we have the adjacent but we don't know the value of the hypotenuse, so we need to use Tangent

Tan α = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$
tan 30 = $\frac{x}{26}$
26tan(30) = x
x = 15
