Question

2. What is the measure of side KL?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Trigonometry we know;

SOH, CAH, TOA

Therefore we will use TOA as we want to find the opposite which will be

tan=opposite/adjacent

so, opposite=tan(x) times adjacent (rearranged the formula)  

which then will be:

tan(24) × 8= 3.561829482

KL=3.6

Answer 2

Answer:

KL ≈ 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan24° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{KL}{KM}$ = $\frac{KL}{8}$ ( multiply both sides by 8 )

8 × tan24° = KL , then

KL ≈ 3.6 ( to the nearest tenth )
