tan∅ = opposite over adjacent

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Angle = 28°

Opposite leg of angle = 8 ft

Adjacent leg of angle = x ft

Step 2: Find x

Substitute:                                        tan28° = 8/xMultiply x on both sides:                 xtan28° = 8Divide tan28° on both sides:          x = 8/tan28°Evaluate:                                          x = 15.0458Round:                                              x ≈ 15.0 ft

The only number less than 8 that can equal 12 would be 6, 36 is the dividend
