Answer 1

Answer:

88.2

Step-by-step explanation:

(look at the picture)

We have opposite and adjacent. Therefore we must use the tangent:

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

$adjacent=500\\opposite=x\\\tan10^o\approx0.1763$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{x}{500}\approx0.1763$       multiply both sides by 500

$x\approx88.15\to x\approx88.2$
