Question

Consider the right triangle below. Solve for x. Label the sides in the image as opposite, adjacent, or hypotenuse, then show your work on the sketchpad.

Answer 1

A. 11.9

Explanation:

35° = opposite/adjacent

tan(35°) = x/17

tan(35) x 17 = 11.90352814

x = 11.90352814

x = 11.9

Answer 2

Answer: 11.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite is across from the 35 degree angle and the ajacent is the side valued at 17.
