Question

please help a poor girl out with geometry lol !! the directions are: find the missing side. round to the nearest tenth. i know it has to do with tangents, cosine, and sine and stuff. the answer is below the problem (is shown) i just need the work! thanks <3

Answer 1

Do you know what tangent stands for?

Answer 2

tan(68)=28/y
y=11.31
y is the letter I chose to represent the other leg of the triangle.

11.31^2+28^2=x^2
911.92=x^2
x=30.20
