In a right angle triangle, where I'm given an angle (29 degrees 55 minutes). The opposite side to the angle (50 units) How do I find the adjacent side?
55 min = [11/12]°.....so we have
tan [(29 + 11/12)°] = opp / adj
tan [(29 + 11/12)°] = 50 / adj rearrange as
adj = 50 / tan [(29 + 11/12)°] ≈ 86.9 units
