Trigonometry

  • [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
  • [Right Triangles Only] tanθ = opposite over adjacent

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify variables

Angle θ = 70°

Opposite Leg = x

Adjacent Leg = 6

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Substitute in variables [tangent]:                                                                     tan70° = x/6
  2. [Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply 6 on both sides:                      6tan70° = x
  3. Rewrite:                                                                                                             x = 6tan70°
  4. Evaluate:                                                                                                           x = 16.4849
  5. Round:                                                                                                               x ≈ 16.5
