Answer:

7.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, we're using a trig function, Tan (angle) = opposite side / adjacent side

In our case tan(27) = x/15

if we multiply both sides by 15 we get

15 tan (27) = x

which means x =7.6 (rounding to the nearest tenth)

Answer: 7.6 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find x by using the tangent of x.

Use SOHCAHTOA to remember the correct equation; tangent = opposite/adjacent.

[tex]tan(27[/tex]°[tex])[/tex][tex]=\frac{x}{15}[/tex]

Use a calculator to solve for x, which can be simplified to 15 * tan 27 degrees.

x = 7.64288...

Rounding to the nearest tenth, you get 7.6 units.
