Question

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth 10 and 35

Answer 1

We can use the tangent rule for this problem because the opposite x is unknown and adjacent side 10 is knwon. Since,

$tan \theta= \frac{Opposite side}{Adjacent side}$

$tan 35=\frac{x}{10}$

$0.474=\frac{x}{10}$ Since tan 35°=0.474

$0.474*10=\frac{x}{10}*10$ Multiplying each sides by 10.

4.74=x

x=4.7 (Rounded to nearest tenth)
