Question

#4 find the value of x. Round answer to nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given right angle triangle,

The unknown side represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With m∠40 as the reference angle,

x represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

4 represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine x, we would apply

the Tangent trigonometric ratio.

Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Tan 40 = 4/x

x = 4/Tan 40 = 4/0.839

x = 4.8
