Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: 2.3Step-by-step explanation:  The triangle shown in the image attached is a right triangle. Therefore, you can calculate the missing lenght of the triangle (x), by applying the proccedure shown below: - Apply [tex]tan\alpha=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] - Substitute values. - Solve for the missing side x. Therefore, you obtain the following result: [tex]tan\alpha=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}\\tan(25)=\frac{x}{5}\\x=5*tan(25)\\x=2.3[/tex]
