Did you get it correct???

Let me ask you a question......Don't we have an angle, an adjacent side, and we're looking for the opposite side??

What trig function relates these??

See if you can set it up.......then...we'lll work through it........

I don't know forsure but here is the hint it gives me... Does that help?  So I belive the track is the hypotonuse and that is what we are trying to find.

No....we're trying to find the opposite side.....the tangent is correct......let's look at the set up....

tan(12) = opp / 150

Does this help??   See if you can solve it.......if not, let me know.....

Yup thank you :)

What grade level is this?

Yup!!!  It was 31.88 :)  Thanks for the help!  It is 10th grade geometry
