Question

What is the value of x to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

You will have to use trig to solve this:

The side you have is adjacent to the known angle

The side you are looking for is opposite the known angle

^^^This means you need to use tan:

tan(24) = $\frac{x}{12}$

.445222 = $\frac{x}{12}$

^^^input tan(24) into calculator, then multiply 12 to both sides to isolate and solve for x

5.3 ≈ x

Hope this helped!
