side AB=97.03

side upper A upper B equals 97.03

side AB=6.97

side upper A upper B equals 6.97

side AB=7.32

side upper A upper B equals 7.32

side AB=30.75

side upper A upper B equals 30.75

Answer 1

Use tan(26°) = opposite/adjacent = AB/15.

AB = 15·tan(26°) ≈ 15·0.4877 = 7.32

So side AB = 7.32.
