Question

For the right triangle find the missing length. Round your answer
to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

w = 5

Explanation:

In the given right triangle, by trigonometric ratio, we have:

`\tan \: 60 \degree = (5 √(3) )/(w) \\ \\ √(3) = (5√(3))/(w) \\ \\ w = \frac{5 \cancel {√(3)} }{ \cancel {√(3)} } \\ \\ w = 5`
