tan(C) = opp/adj
tan(26°) = AB/15
To solve for AB, we can rearrange the equation:
AB = tan(26°) * 15
Now we can use a calculator to find the value of tan(26°) and multiply it by 15 to solve for AB.
To solve for the missing side length AB of the right triangle, we can use the tangent function, which is defined for an angle in a right triangle as the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side.
Given angle C=26∘, and the length of the adjacent side BC=15, we want to find the length of the opposite side AB. The tangent function in this case is:
