Question

Could anyone find the length of side x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

For this equation, you need to use trigonometry. we only need to use one of the two angles given and for this example i'm going to use the 60° angle. as we know the adjacent side and want to know the opposite side, we need to use the trig ratio tan $(\frac{opp}{adj})$ in this case, we will replace the adjacent side with

the square root of 2.

= $\frac{x}{\sqrt{2} }$

as the side we know is on the bottom of the ratio, we need to multiply it by the ratio (tan) then the angle (in case you don't know, * means multiply)

$\sqrt{2} * tan(60) = 2.44948...$ round to 1 decimal place

x = 2.4

Hope this was helpful :-)

I'm sorry if this was confusing, trigonometry is very hard to explain.
