Answer:
23.2 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
For this you need to use trigonometry as you know this is a right-angled triangle.
1) The side of 18.1 is the adjacent
2) The x is the opposite
3) BA is the hypotenuse
4) Now cross out the information you don't need which is the hypotenuse as there is no info.
5) In trigonometry you have SOH, CAH, TOA
6) In this case, we only have info on adjacent and opposite so we use TOA
7) We need to find opposite (x) so we do: opposite= tan (52) times 18.1= 23.2 (1 decimal place)
8) x= 23.2 cm
NOTE: If you're confused, check some videos about trigonometry which will walk through what I have done.
