Hey need some help with this problem, its trigonometry with right triangles using SohCahToa if you can give me a hand it would b
e greatly appreciated
1 answer:
For the given triangle, the value of x equals 30.9892 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
In the triangle, the angle is 40°, the opposite side has a length of 26 units, the adjacent side has a length of x units while the hypotenuse is not given.
To determine the value of x, we determine the value of the tan of the given triangle.
To calculate the tan of angle A we divide the opposite side's length by the the adjacent side's length.
Step 2:
The length of the opposite side = 26 units.
The length of the adjacent side = x units.
So x measures 30.9892 units.

Check the picture below.
so, the center of the circle is the midpoint of that diametrical segment, and half that length is the radius.
