Question

Find the missing side​

Answer 1

x ≈ 14.7

Explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan73° =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)` =
`(48)/(x)` ( multiply both sides by x )

x × tan73° = 48 ( divide both sides by tan73° )

x =
`(48)/(tan73)` ≈ 14.7 ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer 2

X = 48/tan(73) = 14.675
