Answer:
30.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: SOH CAH TOA
We are to solve for the missing side
First, label the sides:
Reference angle (θ) = 61°
x = Opposite (this is opposite to the reference angle)
17 = Adjacent
Hypotenuse = side opposite to right angle
Apply TOA, which is:
Tan θ = Opp/Adj
Plug in the values
Tan 61° = x/17
17*Tan 61° = x
30.6688118 = x
x ≈ 30.7 (approximated to nearest tenth)
