Answer:

The answer to your question is b = 148.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, use trigonometric functions

tan Ф = [tex]\frac{opposite side}{adjacent side}[/tex]

opposite side = b

adjacent side = 60

tan Ф = tan 68° = 2.48

Opposite side = adjacent side x tan Ф

Opposite side = 60 x 2.48

Opposite side = b = 148.5

Answer: 24.24 (24 to the nearest whole number)

Step-by-step explanation:

Following trigonometric rule,

Tan tita = opposite side/ adjacent side

Tan 68° = 60 / b

2.475 = 60 / b

By cross multiplication,

2.475b = 60

Divide both sides by 2.475

2.475b/2.475 =60/2.475

b = 24.24

Hence, adjacent side = 24.24 (24 to the nearest whole number since opposite side is in whole number).
