Question

Which one is correct? I'm getting told two different things. Find the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ 25.7

Step-by-step explanation:

using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan65° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{x}{12}$ ( multiply both sides by 12 )

12 × tan65° = x , then

x ≈ 25.7 ( to the nearest tenth )
