Question

Fine the length of the side labeled x. Around intermediate values to the nearest tenth. use the rounded values to calculate the next value. round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 23.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dotted line be y

Then

• y/x = sin(50°)  ⇒ x = y/sin (50°)

and

• 29/y = tan (58°) ⇒ y = 29/tan (58°)

So

• x = 29/tan (58°)/sin (50°) ≈ 23.6

Correct answer is A. 23.6
