Answer 2

\[\boxed{\displaystyle\tan\theta=\frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{adjacent side}}}\]

In your case:
the angle \(\theta=35°\), the opposite side is \(x\), and the adjacent side is 12 cm.

Solve for \(x\).

Answer 3

So how would i solve for it?

Answer 4

\[\tan 35° = x/12\ \text{cm}\]

Multiply both sides by 12 cm,

\[x =\]

Answer 5

Wait @UnkleRhaukus do i multiply 35 by 12 or multiply just the x by 12?

Answer 6

@UnkleRhaukus ?

Answer 7

@iambatman

Answer 8

Multiply by 12 cm...Unkle even told you.

`Multiply both sides by 12 cm`

Answer 9

tan35*12

Answer 10

Ok i multiplied that already

Answer 11

how many cm did you get?

Answer 12

8.4

Answer 13

I turned it in i thought you gave up on me ;(

Answer 14

\[\tan 35 = x/12\ \text{cm}\\
\tan 35\times12\ \text{cm} = x/12\ \text{cm}\times12\ \text{cm}\\
\tan 35\times12\ \text{cm} = x\]

Answer 15

8.4 cm \(\checkmark\), Good work

Answer 16
