I don’t have the triangle or the angle/other side value, so I can’t pick which choice is correct. Please tell me:
- the given angle (which vertex it’s at), and
- the length of the other known side (and whether that side is opposite or adjacent to the given angle).
How to solve once you give that:
- If θ is the given angle and AB is the side opposite θ: AB = (known adjacent) × tan(θ).
- If θ is the given angle and AB is the side adjacent to θ: AB = (known opposite) ÷ tan(θ).
Make sure your calculator is in degrees (unless the angle is given in radians). Send the missing info and I’ll compute which choice (A–D) is correct.
