Answer:
x = 3.6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Using trigonometric ratios :
[tex]sin \theta = \frac{ opposite} {hypotenuse} \\\\cos \theta = \frac{adjacent }{hypotenuse}\\\\tan \theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}\\\\[/tex]
[tex]where \ \theta = 20, \ opposite = x \ , hypotenuse = y \ , \ adjacent = 10cm[/tex]
[tex]we \ will \ take \ tan \ 20 , \ because\ we \ have \ to \ find \ opposite \ and \ adjacent \ is\ given.\\\\tan 20 = \frac{x}{10}\\\\x = 10 \times tan 20\\\\x = 10 \times 0.36397\\\\x = 3.6397\\\\x = 3.6 \ cm[/tex]
