Question

Tangent Ratios: Find the value of X

Answer 1

tangent ratio is presented as:

\(\bf{\tan(x)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}}\)

Identify the sides.

`x` is the closest side to the known angle so it is adjacent.

`10` is the farthest side from the angle so it is opposite.

Set it up.

\(\large\bf{\tan(25)=\frac{10}{x}}\)

\(\large\bf{10 \div \tan(25) = x}\)

Answer 2

21.4 correct?

Answer 3
