A
8
400
BO
Х
с

Answer:
[tex]x = 8\tan(50)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached triangle
Required
Find x
To find x, we make use of the following trigonometry ratio;
[tex]\tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\tan(50) = \frac{x}{8}[/tex]
Make x the subject
[tex]x = 8\tan(50)[/tex]
