Question

Find the side indicated by the variable. Round to the nearest tenth.​

Answer 1

Answer:

b ≈ 25.6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

By applying tangent rule in the given triangle,

tan(32°) = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

tan(32°) = $\frac{16}{b}$

b = $\frac{16}{\text{tan}(32)}$

b = $\frac{16}{0.62487}$

b = 25.605

b ≈ 25.6
