In triangle AB, the angle is 90 degrees AC = 20, tg A = 0.9. Find BC.

Since, by condition, the angle ACB = 90, then the triangle ABC is rectangular.

In a right-angled triangle, the tangent of its acute angle is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent leg.

tgBAC = BC / AC = 0.9.

BC = AC * 0.9 = 20 * 0.9 = 18 cm.

Answer: The length of the BC leg is 18 cm.
