Question

Find the indicated side of the right triangle

Answer 1

`\tan(30) = (7)/(x)`

`(1)/( √(3) ) = (7)/(x)`

`x = 7 √(3)`

Answer 2

7 * sqrt(3) =x

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opp/ adj

tan 60 = x/7

Multiply each side by 7

7 tan 60 =x

We know than 60 =sqrt(3)

7 * sqrt(3) =x
