Answer: YX=13.85\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Line segment YV of rectangle YVWX measures 24 units. What is the length of line segment YX?"</h3><h3> The missing figure is attached.</h3>

Since the figure is a rectangle, you know that:

WV=YX\\\\YV=XW=24

Notice that the segment YV divides the rectangle into two equal Right triangles.

Knowing the above, you can use the following Trigonometric Identity:

tan\alpha =\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

You can identify that:

\alpha =30\°\\\\opposite=YX\\\\adjacent=YV=24

Therefore, in order to find the length of the segment YX, you must substitute values into  tan\alpha =\frac{opposite}{adjacent} and then you must solve for YX.

You get that this is:

tan(30\°)=\frac{YX}{24}\\\\(24)(tan(30\°))=YX\\\\YX=13.85
