I tried chatgpt.

No idea what it's saying but from the end result it's clearly wrong

I pasted the picture into chatgpt
And got back 32.96

That's what it gave me at first. I said it's wrong then it gave the correct answer

4.368
convert to right triangle (1/2A B H) angle BH is 20 degrees and plug in here

correct
But done by hand. (using a calculator. Although I'm old enough that we used chart and did some of the calculations by hand.)

The method I was taught back in school:

SOHCATOA can only be used for right-angles, so split the triangle in half to get two 90 degree angles.

Then use TOA to get the answer. Tan(70)=6/x, with 6 being the line opposite the numbered angle, and the unknown side being the adjacent one.

Plug that into a calculator and end up with 2.18382... Now multiply that by 2 (for the complete triangle, not the chopped in half one), and get

I didn't learn trigonometry or at least I don't remember learning it. Definitely don't remember sohcahtoa

I don't either know how Tan is calculated. Likely too advanced for me

It's Geometry.

We did this in Trig.

you press the TAN button on your scientific calculator

Hey, I was feeling so good about myself that I knew what to type into the calculator. Don't make me feel inadequate now!

Went to smoke a cigarette last week. Started to go out the back door of the building, but it was raining, so I went to the front door, where it wasn't. The back was partly cloudy, the front was partly sunny. Welcome to FL.

By the time you got to the front door it was no longer raining at the back door either.
