To find the length of the missing side x, use Tan trigonometric formula

Tan: [tex]\frac{opposite}{Adjacent}[/tex]

Tan 21 = [tex]\frac{10.5}{x}[/tex]

Tan 21 × [tex]\frac{1}{10.5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{10.5}{x}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{1}{10.5}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{10.5}{Tan 21}=x[/tex]

x=27.4

X= 27.4 ft

Hope it helps!

Answer:

x = 27.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given:

  • opposite side: 10.5 ft
  • adjacent side: x ft
  • to that angle: 21°

So, use tan rule:

[tex]\sf tan(\theta) = \dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

insert values

[tex]\sf tan(21) = \dfrac{10.5}{x}[/tex]

make 'x' subject

[tex]\sf x= \dfrac{10.5}{tan(21) }[/tex]

calculate value

[tex]\sf x = 27.35343...[/tex]

rounded to nearest tenth

[tex]\sf x = 27.4 \ ft[/tex]
