Answer:

h = 9.87 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Base, b = 8 cm

Height = h

Angle, [tex]\theta=51^{\circ}[/tex]

We need to find the value of h. We can use trigonometry to find h.

[tex]\tan\theta=\dfrac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}\\\\\tan(51)=\dfrac{h}{8}\\\\h=\tan(51)\times 8\\\\h=9.87\ cm[/tex]

So, the height of the triangle is 9.87 cm.
