Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) the triangle is a right angle triangle.
From the given right angle triangle,
With 67° as the reference angle,
x represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
17 represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.
To determine x, we would apply
the Tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side.
Therefore,
Tan 67 = 17/x
xTan 67 = 17
x = 17/Tan 67
x = 17/2.3559
x = 7.22
2) From the given right angle triangle, with 24° as the reference angle,
x represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.
12 represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
To determine x, we would apply
the Tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side.
Therefore,
Tan 24 = x/12
x = 12Tan 24
x = 12 × 0.4452
x = 5.34
