Question

Which expression shows the height, AC, of the charging stand?

Answer 1

In this case, we use the trigonometric tangent entity, which is given by:

$\tan\theta=\frac{opposite\text{ side}}{adjacent\text{ side}}$

Where:

θ = 50°

opposite side = AC

adjacent side = 3

So, the expression is:

$\tan50\degree=\frac{AC}{3}$

Solve for AC:

$AC=3\tan50\degree$

Answer:

$\begin{equation*} 3\tan50\degree \end{equation*}$
