Find side bc. round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

tan (θ) = opp/adj

-

tan (28) = BC/29.3

BC = 29.3 tan(28)

BC = 15.58 mi

-

BC = 15.58 mi

Hello!

To find the measure of side BC, we can use the trigonometric function tangent.

Tangent is opposite over adjacent. With respect to angle A which is 28 degrees, the adjacent side measure is 29.3 miles, while the opposite side is undetermined, and is what we are trying to find. Let's set up the equation.

tan(28) = x / 29.3 (multiply both sides by 29.3)

29.3tan(28) = x

x = 15.5790

Therefore, the measure of side BC is 15.58 miles.

the correct option is b

step-by-step explanation:

the height of the surface increases from the center out to the sides of the road.

step-by-step explanation:

as we move out we move away from the x-axis.

and as mentioned in the problem statement that height of a road increases when we move away from the center x.

hence proved that 3rd option

the height of the surface increases from the center out to the sides of the road.

is the correct option.
