In a right triangle, the side opposite a 33 degree angle is 17 units. what is the length of the side adjacent to that angle to the nearest whole number?

The length of the side adjacent to that angle  is 26 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

In a right triangle, the side opposite a 33 degree angle is 17 units

Firstly, we will draw diagram

we can use trig

now, we can solve for x

So,

The length of the side adjacent to that angle  is 26 units

positive

step-by-step explanation:

the quadrant is facing upwards

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
