thats how it looks

anonymous · Answer

and they want me to solve for x

anonymous · Answer

yes  it is a side length

anonymous · Answer

how would i solve this ?

unklerhaukus · Answer

do you remember that $$\tan\theta=\frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{adjacent side}}$$?

anonymous · Answer

i dont really remember it how would i plug that in with my question ?

unklerhaukus · Answer

well you have theta is 58°, and you have the opposite side is 4.0

unklerhaukus · Answer

$${\text{adjacent side}}=\frac{\text{opposite side}}{\tan\theta}$$

unklerhaukus · Answer

x = 4.0 / tan(58°)

i got 14.5 i dont know if thats right
