Question

6. Which trig function would you use to solve for h? *
sine
cosine
tangent

Answer 1

Answer:

tan

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use this equation

$tan(18) = \frac{h}{100}$

to solve for h

Answer 2

Answer:

Tangent

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangent=opposite/adjacent

For the angle that's 18°, it's opposite side is h, and the side that is next to, or adjacent to it is 100. It's not the other side because that's hypotenuse.

When you plug those in, you'll have:

$tan(18)=\frac{h}{100}$

Solve for h by multiplying both sides by 100 to get:

$100*tan(18)=h$

Put $tan(18)$ into calculator to get .324919. When you do so, make sure you're in degrees, not radians.

Since we are multiplying that by 100, the final answer is 32.4919
