Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 16.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
angle = 61°
Opposite side = x
Adjacent side = 9
To solve this problem use trigonometric functions. The trigonometric function that relates the Opposite side and the adjacent side is tangent.
tan Ф = Opposite side / Adjacent side
-Solve for Opposite side (x)
x = Adjacent side x tan Ф
-Substitution
x = 9 tan 61
-Simplification
x = 9 (1.804)
-Result
x = 16.2
