Question

Solve for x please help !!!!!!!

Answer 1

x ≈ 20.31

Explanation:

By applying tangent rule in the given right triangle,

tan(55°) =
`\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}`

Measure of the opposite side = 29 units

Measure of the adjacent side = x

Substitute these values in the expression,

tan(55) =
`(29)/(x)`

x =
`(29)/(tan(55))`

x = 20.306

x ≈ 20.31
