Question

Enter the trigonometric equation you would use to solve for x. Do not solve the equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=12\times \text{tan}(20^0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Measure of an angle = 20°

Measure of the opposite side = x

Measure of the adjacent side = 12

By applying tangent rule in the given right triangle,

tan(20°) = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}$

$\text{tan}(20^0)=\frac{x}{12}$

$x=12\times \text{tan}(20^0)$

Therefore, equation to get the value of 'x' will be,

$x=12\times \text{tan}(20^0)$
