Answer:
23.36
Step-by-step explanation:
We have three things on the diagram :
- Angle = 33°
- Length of adjacent side = 36
- Length of opposing side = x
When the opposing side length and adjacent side length is given, always use the tan ratio.
- tan = opposite / adjacent
First, find the numerical value of tan(33°)
- tan(33°) = 0.6494 = 0.649
Solving :
- tan(33°) = x/36 = 0.649
- ⇒ x = 0.649 x 36
- ⇒ x = 23.364 = 23.36
