19
Give your answer to 1 d.p.
=
Please help me find the answer

Answer 1

w ≈ 23.9

Explanation:

(w - 2) tan41° = 19 ← distribute parenthesis on left side by tan41°

wtan41° - 2tan41° = 19 ( add 2tan41° to both sides )

wtan41° = 19 + 2tan41° ( divide both sides by tan41° )

w =
`(19+tan41)/(tan41)` ≈ 23.9 ( to 1 d.p )
