You can put this solution on YOUR website!

\n" ); document.write( "tan(6°) = 2/(x + d)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "tan(15°) = d/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Above you have two trigonometric equations in two unknowns, d and x. Solve it as an algebra system of equations from algebra 2. Take it from here. Good luck!
