Question

Solve for x. Round to nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan63° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{IJ}{JK}$ = $\frac{1}{x}$ ( multiply both sides by x )

x × tan63° = 1 ( divide both sides by tan63° )

x = $\frac{1}{tan63}$ ≈ 0.5 ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use tan Θ to find the value of x.

tan Θ = Opposite ÷ Adjacent

Let us solve it now

tan 63 = 1 ÷ x

1.9626 = 1 ÷ x

x = 1 ÷ 1.9626

x = 0.5095

x ≈ 0.5  ( nearest 10th )
