Trigonometry
- [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
- [Right Triangles Only] tanθ = opposite over adjacent
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Identify
Angle θ = 39°
Opposite Leg = 30
Adjacent Leg = x
Step 2: Solve for x
- Substitute in variables [tangent]: [tex]\displaystyle tan39^\circ = \frac{30}{x}[/tex]
- Cross-multiply: [tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{30}{tan39^\circ}[/tex]
- Evaluate: [tex]\displaystyle x = 37.0469[/tex]
