In a right triangle, if <0 = 39 and the side adjacent to `/_θ` is equal to 12.0 centimeters, what is the approximate length of the opposite side?

Respuesta :

Answer

9.7174 cm


Explanation

θ = 39°

The adjacent length to θ is 12.0 cm.

tanθ = Opposite/adjacent

tan39 = opposite/12

opposite = 12 × tan39

                 = 12 × 0.80978

                 = 9.7174 cm
