Use photo math it it’s so good
We should use the correct formula for tan α (which is opposite
leg over adjacent leg) tan α = 5/b
Step-by-step explanation:
See attached file
We must use the for equation of tan α = BC/AC
tan α = BC/ b tan α = 5/b tan 30⁰ = 1/√3
b = 5/√3 ⇒ b = 5/1.7320
b = 2.8868 cm
[tex]tan30^{\circ}=\frac{5}{b}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a triangle ABC in which angle CAB=90 degrees
Angle CAB=30 degrees
Length of BC= 5 cm
Length of AB=10 cm
Length of AC=b
We have to find the equation which is used to solve for b.
We know that
[tex]tan\theta=\frac{Perpendicular\;side}{Base}[/tex]
Substitute the values
[tex]tan30^{\circ}=\frac{BC}{CA}[/tex]
[tex]tan30^{\circ}=\frac{5}{b}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt3}=\frac{5}{b}[/tex] ([tex]tan30^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}[/tex])
[tex]b=5\sqrt3[/tex]
Hence, the equation can be used to solve for b is given
[tex]tan30^{\circ}=\frac{5}{b}[/tex]
