Question

BC = Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. B 50° 7

Answer 1

Answer:

BC = 5.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Reference angle = 50°

Side Opposite to reference angle = 7

Adjacent side = BC = ?

Apply trigonometric function, TOA, thus:

Tan 50 = Opp/Adj

Tan 50 = 7/BC

BC × Tan 50 = 7

BC = 7/Tan 50

BC = 5.87369742 ≈ 5.87 (nearest hundredth)
