Question

Trigonometry question! find the vaule of x. round to the nearest tenth!​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 88.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

Use tangent:

$tangent=\dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}$

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

$\alpha=10^o,\ adjacent=500$

$\tan10^o\approx0.17633$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{x}{500}=0.17633$             multiply both sides by 500

$x=88.165\to x=88.2$
