Answer: 1 1/2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

You can divide each part of the fraction by 4 to simplify it to 1/2, which is still equivalent to 4/8. This makes your simplified answer 1 1/2, or 1.5 in decimal form.

360 / 60 = 6

There are 6 sides.

Find the value of x.

kirza4 [7]

Hey there :)

Here we need to use Trigonometry!

The given angle is 61°
The opposite to the angle is 22
So x is the adjacent

The trigonometric ratio that uses opposite and adjacent is tan
( I have uploaded a picture to help you )

tan α = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$
tan 61 = $\frac{22}{adj}$
adj = $\frac{22}{tan(61)}$
adj ≈ 12.19 ≈ 12

x = 12
