Answer:
AB ≈ 9.11
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle
tan44° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AC}{AB}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8.8}{AB}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by AB )
AB × tan44° = 8.8 ( divide both sides by tan44° )
AB = [tex]\frac{8.8}{tan44}[/tex] ≈ 9.11 ( to 3 sf )
