Question

Find x and round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

x = 38.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is a right angled triangle we can use trigonometric ratios to find the value of x

To find the value of x we use tan

$\tan(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

From the question

the opposite is 12

the adjacent is 15

We have

$\tan(x) = \frac{12}{15} \\ x = \tan^{ - 1} ( \frac{12}{15} ) \\ x = 38.659808$

We have the final answer as

x = 38.7°

Hope this helps you
