Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Reference angle = θ
Opposite side = 11.9
Adjacent side = 10
Applying the trigonometric ratio, TOA, we have:
Tan θ = opp/adj
Tan θ = 11.9/10
θ = tan^{-1}(11.9/10)
θ = 49.9584509° ≈ 50.0° (to one d.p)
Apply pythagorean theorem to find AB:
Thus:
AB = √(11.9² + 10²)
AB = √241.61
AB ≈ 15.5 (to 1 d.p)
