BRAINLIEST FOR EXPLANATION AND STEP BY STEP. (One question) 1) In a right triangle, the side adjacent to the 25 degree angle is 15cm long. What is the length of the side opposite the 25 degree angle to the nearest centimeter?

MY QUESTIONS:
what is the question asking for? And where is the 25 degree in a right triangle??
PLS HELP! :))

7 cm approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle means one of the angles is 90 degrees. It tells one of the other angles is 25 degrees. It doesn't matter which one you call 25 degrees, just don't call the right angle 25 degrees:p.

We are given the adjacent side to 25 degrees. This is the side helping to create the angle whose measurement is 25 degrees. The other side helping to create the angle is the hypotenuse.

We are asked to find the opposite side to the 25 degree angle.

Since we are given the 25 degree angle, the adjacent side measurement=15 cm, and we are asked to find the opposite side measurement=x, we should use tangent ratio.

I like to refer to the acronym to help me remember which trig ratio to use: Soh Cah Toa.

So we need to solve tan(25)=x/15.

We can do this by multiplying both sides by 15 giving us 15tan(25)=x.

Now we punch it into our calculator giving us 6.995 cm approximately.
