Question

Solve for x . Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 24.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opp /adj

tan 15 = x/90

90 tan 15 =x

x=24.11542

To the nearest tenth

x = 24.1

Answer 2

Answer:

x ≈ 24.1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle. So we use trigonometric functions.

tan  Θ = opposite / adjoint

tan 15 = x / 90

90 tan 15 = x

x = 24.11542

We round it to the nearest tenth.

x ≈ 24.1
