Question

Can someone please help me with this trigonometry problem. I would highly appreciate it if you did​

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ 16.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the tangent ratio in the right triangle to find x

tan36° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{12}{x}$

Multiply both sides by x

x × tan36° = 12 ( divide both sides by tan36° )

x = 12 / tan36° ≈ 16.52 ( to 2 dec. places )
