Question

1) Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ 12.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan35° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{9}{x}$ ( multiply both sides by x )

x × tan35° = 9 ( divide both sides by tan35° )

x = $\frac{9}{tan35}$ ≈ 12.9 ( to the nearest tenth )
