Question

I want to know how to get the answer for x

Answer 1

Answer:

8.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Given right angle triangle have adjacent leg as 24.

Now finding the length of opposite leg of triangle.

Using the tangent rule to find the value of x

We know, $tan\theta= \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$

$Tan\ 20= \frac{x}{24}$

Using the value of tan 20 degree

⇒ $0.3639= \frac{x}{24}$

Multiplying both side by 24

⇒$0.3639\times 24= x$

∴$x= 8.73$

Hence, the value of x is 8.73.
