Answer: B. 2.5 in
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given right angle triangle,
the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle is the unknown side.
With m∠32 as the reference angle,
the adjacent side of the right angle triangle is 4 in
the opposite side of the right angle triangle is w
To determine w, we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed as
Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,
Tan 32 = w/4
w = 4tan32 = 4 × 0.625
w = 2.5 in
