Question 193586
I'm trying to help my son with geometry and can't figure out this problem. Can you please help. He is solving for the value of x. Tan 72(degrees) = 18 over X (this is in fraction form)What steps do we take to solve this problem, and what is the correct answer.
---------------
tan(72) = 18/x
x = 18/tan(72) = ~ 5.84855...
