Question

What is the value of x to the nearest tenth?




2.8


1.6


0.4

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use the tangent ratio to find x

tan37° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{x}{2.1}$

multiply both sides by 2.1

x = 2.1 × tan37° = 1.6 ( nearest tenth )
