Answer :

For the given right triangle, one angle is 71 degree, and perpendicular side for angle 71 degree is x and base side is 5 cm.

Determine the measure of side x by using trigonometric ratio.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan 71=\frac{x}{5} \\ x=5\cdot\tan 71 \\ =14.5210 \\ \approx14.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So value of x is 14.5 cm
