For the right triangle below find the length of x Round to t

For the right triangle below, find the length of x. Round to the hundredths. (2 decimal places)

Solution

tan = opposite side / adjacent side

==> tan(37^o) = x / 8

==> x = 8 tan(37^o)

==> x = 8(0.75355)

==> x = 1.507

==> x = 1.51

Hence length of x = 1.51
