Question

In AJKL, solve for x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ 66.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan27° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{KL}{JK}$ = $\frac{34}{x}$ ( multiply both sides by x )

x × tan27° = 34 ( divide both sides by tan27° )

x = $\frac{34}{tan27}$ ≈ 66.73 ( to 2 dec. places )
