Given:

A figure of a right angle triangle.

To find:

The length of BC.

Solution:

In a right angle triangle,

$\tan \theta =(Perpendicular)/(Base)$

In the given triangle,

$\tan A =(BC)/(AC)$

$\tan 23^\circ =(BC)/(6)$

0.42447* 6 =BC

2.54682 =BC

Approximate the value to the nearest hundredth.

$BC\approx 2.55$

Therefore, the measure of side BC is 2.55 units.
