1. **State the problem:** Find the missing side $x$ in right triangles given an angle and one side.
2. **Recall formulas:**
- Cosine relates adjacent side and hypotenuse: $\cos \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$.
- Tangent relates opposite and adjacent sides: $\tan \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$.
3. **Solve each problem step-by-step:**
**1)** Angle $68^\circ$, adjacent side $6$, find opposite side $x$ using tangent:
$$\tan 68^\circ = \frac{x}{6}$$
Multiply both sides by 6:
$$x = 6 \tan 68^\circ$$
Calculate:
$$x \approx 6 \times 2.4751 = 14.9$$
**2)** Angle $71^\circ$, adjacent side $6$, find opposite side $x$ using tangent:
$$\tan 71^\circ = \frac{x}{6}$$
Multiply both sides by 6:
$$x = 6 \tan 71^\circ$$
Calculate:
$$x \approx 6 \times 2.9042 = 17.4$$
**3)** Angle $42^\circ$, adjacent side $10$, find opposite side $x$ using tangent:
$$\tan 42^\circ = \frac{x}{10}$$
Multiply both sides by 10:
$$x = 10 \tan 42^\circ$$
Calculate:
$$x \approx 10 \times 0.9004 = 9.0$$
**4)** Angle $63^\circ$, adjacent side $7$, find opposite side $x$ using tangent:
$$\tan 63^\circ = \frac{x}{7}$$
Multiply both sides by 7:
$$x = 7 \tan 63^\circ$$
Calculate:
$$x \approx 7 \times 1.9626 = 13.7$$
**5)** Angle $74^\circ$, adjacent side $18$, find opposite side $x$ using tangent:
$$\tan 74^\circ = \frac{x}{18}$$
Multiply both sides by 18:
$$x = 18 \tan 74^\circ$$
Calculate:
$$x \approx 18 \times 3.4874 = 62.8$$
**6)** Angle $69^\circ$, adjacent side $18$, find opposite side $x$ using tangent:
$$\tan 69^\circ = \frac{x}{18}$$
Multiply both sides by 18:
$$x = 18 \tan 69^\circ$$
Calculate:
$$x \approx 18 \times 2.6051 = 46.9$$
**7)** Angle $70^\circ$, opposite side $14$, find adjacent side $x$ using cosine:
$$\cos 70^\circ = \frac{x}{14}$$
Multiply both sides by 14:
$$x = 14 \cos 70^\circ$$
Calculate:
$$x \approx 14 \times 0.3420 = 4.8$$
**8)** Angle $19^\circ$, adjacent side $17$, find opposite side $x$ using tangent:
$$\tan 19^\circ = \frac{x}{17}$$
Multiply both sides by 17:
$$x = 17 \tan 19^\circ$$
Calculate:
$$x \approx 17 \times 0.3443 = 5.9$$
**9)** Angle $37^\circ$, adjacent side $20$, find opposite side $x$ using tangent:
$$\tan 37^\circ = \frac{x}{20}$$
Multiply both sides by 20:
$$x = 20 \tan 37^\circ$$
Calculate:
$$x \approx 20 \times 0.7536 = 15.1$$
**10)** Angle $38^\circ$, opposite side $x$, adjacent side $36$, find $x$ using tangent:
$$\tan 38^\circ = \frac{x}{36}$$
Multiply both sides by 36:
$$x = 36 \tan 38^\circ$$
Calculate:
$$x \approx 36 \times 0.7813 = 28.1$$
