So for this, we will be using tangent to solve (Remember that tangent = opposite/adjacent)


In this case, our equation is [tex] \frac{tan(36)}{1} =\frac{x}{15} [/tex]


For this, all you need to do is cross-multiply, and your answer will be [tex] x=10.9 [/tex]

AL2006

tangent (36°) = (opposite side) / (adjacent side)


tan(36°) = x / 15-ft


Multiply each side by 15-ft :


x = (15-ft) times tan(36°) .


from calculator, slide rule, or tables in a book, tan(36°) = 0.727

so

x = (15-ft) times (0.727)


x = 10.9 ft.
