But what's the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In △JKL, solve for x. 17.32 38.16 66.73 74.89

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

Since; \[\tan \theta =\frac{perpendicular}{hypotenuse}.\]Therfore; \[\tan 27^o=\frac{34}{x}.\]& \[\tan 27^o=0.509\]So now find 'x': - \[\huge{\color{red}{☺}}\]

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

\[\color{blue}{x=\frac{34}{0.509}=?}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how to!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you need to know the definition of the trig functions then.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the tangent function applies to this problem, since its parts are defined as the tangent function.
