Given:
A figure of a right angle triangle.
To find:
The length of BC.
Solution:
In a right angle triangle,
[tex]\tan \theta =\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}[/tex]
In the given triangle,
[tex]\tan A =\dfrac{BC}{AC}[/tex]
[tex]\tan 23^\circ =\dfrac{BC}{6}[/tex]
[tex]0.42447\times 6 =BC[/tex]
[tex]2.54682 =BC[/tex]
Approximate the value to the nearest hundredth.
[tex]BC\approx 2.55[/tex]
Therefore, the measure of side BC is 2.55 units.
