Question

I need help my last tutor gave the wrong answer

Answer 1

The value of x can be found by using the Tangent Trigonometric ratio, which is given as

`\tan \theta=\frac{\text{opp}}{\text{adj}}`

From the question, we have the following values:

`\begin{gathered} \theta=38\degree \\ \text{opp }=19 \\ \text{adj }=x \end{gathered}`

Substituting the values, we have

`\tan 38=(19)/(x)`

Solving, we have:

`\begin{gathered} 0.7813=(19)/(x) \\ \therefore \\ x=(19)/(0.7813) \\ x=24.31\approx24.3 \end{gathered}`

The correct answer is 24.3 units.
