Question

Solve for x round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

47.0

Step-by-step explanation:

In this right angle triangle, we are faced with a challenge of two sides. The opposite side and the adjacent side, hence the tangent is used.

Where it is the opposite side and hypothenus side, the sine is used and when it is the hypothenus side and adjacent side, the cosine is used.

Hence, we have tan62°=x/25

We cross multiply, to have

25(tan 62°)= x

x = 47.01816

In rounding up numbers, number 1 to 4 will be rounded up to zero, while numbers 5 to 9 will be rounded up to 1.

Rounding up 47.01816 to the nearest tenth. The tenth value is the figure is 0, before it we have 1, which is to hundredth. 1 will be rounded up to zero.

So we have 47.0
