How to find the side of a right angle triangle?
One angle of a right angle triangle is equals to 90 degrees.
Therefore, the sides and angles of the right triangle can be found using trigonometric ratios.
tan x = WY / XY
tan x = opposite / adjacent
tan x = 24 / 8
x = tan⁻¹ 3
x = tan⁻¹ 3
x = 71.5650511771
x = 71.60°
tan 71.60 = h / 48
cross multiply
h = 48 tan 71.60
h = 48 × 3
h = 144 inches
