Question

For the right triangle find the missing length. Round your answer
to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

w = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given right triangle, by trigonometric ratio, we have:

$\tan \: 60 \degree = \frac{5 \sqrt{3} }{w} \\ \\ \sqrt{3} = \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{w} \\ \\ w = \frac{5 \cancel {\sqrt{3}} }{ \cancel {\sqrt{3}} } \\ \\ w = 5$
