To solve this, we need to use our trigonometric equations:
⇒ look at the diagram attached
Let's examine what the problem wants:
- the length of the side opposite to the 27-degree angle
Let's examine what the problem gives us:
- the length of the side adjacent to the 27-degree angle
- the angle that has a measure of 27-degrees
Let's solve:
[tex]tan(27)=\frac{x}{15} \\x=15*tan(27)\\x=7.64[/tex]
Answer: 7.6 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
Hope that helps!
