Answer:
A. tan(x) = 2.4/10
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete and lacks the required diagram. Find the question and diagram attached below.
Which equation can be used to solve for the measure of angle ABC? tan(x) = 2.4/10 tan(x) =10/2.4 sin(x) =10/10.3 sin(x) =10.3/10
We will use the SOH CAH TOA identity to calculate the equation needed to solve for angle ABC.
In a right angled triangle, the side facing the acute angle ABC is the opposite, the longest side is the hypotenuse and the third side (base) is the adjacent.
From the diagram shown;
AB = hypotenuse = 10.3cm
AC = opposite = 2.4cm
BC = adjacent = 10cm
To get the angle x, we can use the SOH and TOA identity.
SOH means sin<ABC = opp/hyp
Sin(x) = AC/AB = 2.4/10.3
TOA ≈ Tan(x) = opp/adj
Tan(x) = 2.4/10
The equation that can be used to solve for the measure of angle ABC are therefore sin(x) = 2.4/10.3 OR tan(x) = 2.4/10
Based on the given option,
tan(x) = 2.4/10 is the only correct answer.
