Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\rm sin \rm \theta = \frac{ opposite }{ hypotenuse }~~~~ \cos \theta = \frac{ adjacent }{ hypotenuse } ~~\tan \theta = \frac{ opposite }{ adjacent }\] you need opposite side of the given angle and given side is adjacent so apply tan function to find value of x

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm tan(35 ) = \frac{ \rm opposite }{ adjacent }\] opposite = x adjacent = 12 substitute and then sovle for x

solve*

Your doing good so far.

Nnesha (nnesha):

thanks. let me know what you get for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are the one I am challenging. I already know the answer.

Nnesha (nnesha):

alright so what's the answer

OpenStudy (triciaal):

x = 12 tan 35 =

OpenStudy (triciaal):

find to 2 decimal then round to 1 decimal

OpenStudy (triciaal):

12*.7002= 8.4

OpenStudy (triciaal):

x = 8.4
