Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the given information
We are given a right triangle STR with angle S = 58° and side RT = 6.5. We are asked to find the length of ST.
Step 2: Use trigonometric ratios
Since we have a right triangle, we can use trigonometric ratios. We are given the angle S and the side adjacent to it (RT), and we want to find the side opposite to it (ST). The tangent function relates these:
