Question

1. Use the following picture for this question:

Answer 1

Answer:

Part a)

Exact value 24√3 units

Approximate value 41.6 units

Part b) x=52.1 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

step 1

Find the exact value

Let

h-------> the blue dotted line

we know that

tan(60°)=h/24

h=tan(60°)*24

Remember that

tan(60°)=√3

substitute

h=24√3 units

step 2

Find the approximate value

h=24√3=41.6 units

Part b)

we know that

sin(53°)=41.6/x

x=41.6/sin(53°)=52.1 units
