Answer:
x ≈ 1.6
Step-by-step explanation:
tan37° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{2.1}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 2.1
2.1 × tan37° = x, thus
x ≈ 1.6 ( to the nearest tenth )
tan θ = opposite / adjacent
where θ = 37° , opposite=x and adjacent = 2.1
tan 37 = x / 2.1
tan 37 × 2.1 = x
0.75 × 2.1 = x
x = 1.58
