Question

Solve for X in the triangle. Round answer to nearest TENTH. (marking brainlist)​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 23.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the trigonometric ratios : opposite = x , adjacent = 14° , $\theta = 59^{\circ}$

$sin \theta = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos \theta =\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\tan \theta = \frac{opposite }{adjacent}$

Since we have to find x, and we have value of adjacent

We will consider the ratio of tan

$tan \ 59 = \frac{x}{14}$

$x = 14 \times tan 59\\\\x = 23.2999\\\\x = 23 .3$
