Answer:
s = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle and the exact value
tan60° = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] , then
tan60° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{17\sqrt{3} }{s}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by s )
s × [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] = 17[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] ( divide both sides by [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] )
s = 17
