The known side (b = 8) and the unknown side (side 'a') are legs of the right triangle.


We will use the tangent function.


tan(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
tan(A) = a/b
tan(29) = a/8
8*tan(29) = a
a = 8*tan(29)
a = 4.43447241162216
a = 4.4


<font color=red>Therefore side 'a' is roughly 4.4 units long</font>
