[tex]tan = \frac{opp}{adj} [/tex]

[tex] \tan(37) = \frac{opp}{15} [/tex]

[tex]h = 15 \tan(37) [/tex]

[tex]h = 11.3 \: cm[/tex]

Answer:

h ≈ 11.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle.

tan37° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{h}{15}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 15 )

15 × tan37° = h , that is

h ≈ 11. 3 cm ( to 1 dec. place )
