Answer:
[tex]CD = 4.4ft[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]DE = 12[/tex]
[tex]\angle C = 70^\circ[/tex]
Required
Find CD
This question is represented with the attached triangle
To solve CD, we make use of tan formula.
[tex]tan(70) = \frac{DE}{CD}[/tex]
Substitute 12 for DE
[tex]tan(70) = \frac{12}{CD}[/tex]
Make CD the subject
[tex]CD = \frac{12}{tan(70)}[/tex]
[tex]CD = \frac{12}{2.7475}[/tex]
[tex]CD = 4.4ft[/tex] --- approximated
