Question

Find the length of side x. Show steps please!

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large{x=7.4438\ cm\approx7.4\ cm}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use tangent:

$tangent=\dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}$

We have:

$\alpha=28^o,\ opposite=x,\ adjacent=14\ cm$

$\tan28^o\approx0.5317$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{x}{14}=0.5317$                multiply both sides by 14

$x=7.4438\ cm$
