Answer:
The approximated length of EF is 2.2 units ⇒ A
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The tangent ratio in the right triangle is the ratio between the opposite side to the adjacent side of one of the acute angle in the triangle</em>
In the given figure
∵ The triangle DFE has a right angle F
∵ The opposite side to angle D is EF
∵ The adjacent side to angle D is DF
→ By using the tangent ratio above
∴ tan(∠D) =
∵ DF = 6 units
∵ m∠D = 20°
→ Substitute then in the ratio above
∴ tan(20°) =
→ Multiply both sides by 6
∴ 6 tan(20°) = EF
∴ 2.183821406 = EF
→ Approximate it to the nearest tenth
∴ 2.2 = EF
∴ The approximated length of EF is 2.2 units
