Question

Find x round to the nearest tenth! please help!!! more trigonometry!​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 437.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

Use cosine:

$cosine=\dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

We have a measure of the angle and length of the hypotenuse:

$\alpha=29^o,\ hypotenuse=500\ ft$

$\cos29^o\approx0.87461$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{y}{500}=0.87461$                 multiply both sides by 500

$y=437.305\to y\approx437.3$
