Answer:

About 2.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of an angle is equivalent to the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side:

[tex]\tan 44=\dfrac{x}{2.8}\\\\x=2.8 \cdot \tan 44\approx 2.7[/tex]

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 2.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use tan to find the value of x

tan 44 = [tex]\frac{x}{2.8}[/tex]      Simplify

0.9657 = [tex]\frac{x}{2.8}[/tex]    Multiply both sides by 2.8

x = 2.70396    Round this answer to the nearest tenth of a foot

x = 2.7 feet
