Question

Please help me with this question!!!

Answer 1

tan 40° = x/100

Explanation:

As, AC is perpendicular and BC is the with respect to angle ABC. So, tan 40° will be use to determine the distance in feet from point C to point A.

tan ABC = perpendicular/base

tan 40° = AC/BC

tan 40° = x/100 feet

Answer 2

tan (40°) =
`(x)/(100)`

Explanation:

tan
`\theta` =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)`

The opposite side to angle B is x. The adjacent side to angle B is 100 ft.

tan (40°) =
`(x)/(100)`
