Question

Find the value of x. Round the length to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

I feel like your answer would be 9.2 cm

Answer 2

Consider the given right triangle.

We have to find the value of 'x'.

Consider $\tan 40^{\circ}$

Since $\tan \Theta =\frac{P}{B}$

$\tan 40^{\circ} = \frac{x}{11}$

Finding the value of $\tan 40^{\circ}$ from the calculator,

We get

$\tan 40^{\circ} = 0.84$

Now, $0.84 = \frac{x}{11}$

$x = 0.84 \times 11$

x = 9.24

x = 9.2 (Rounded to nearest tenth)

So, the value of 'x' is 9.2 cm.

Option 3 is the correct answer.
