Answer:
x = 9.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Reference angle (θ) = 68°
Opposite = 24
Adjacent = x
Apply, the trigonometric function, TOA which is:
[tex] tan (/theta) = \frac{Opp}{Adj} [/tex]
Plug in the values
[tex] tan 68 = \frac{24}{x} [/tex]
Multiply both sides by x
[tex] x*tan 68 = 24 [/tex]
Divide both sides by tan 68
[tex] x = \frac{24}{tan 68} [/tex]
x = 9.69662942
x = 9.7 (nearest tenth)
