Question

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth. tan 34° = 20

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x = 13.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question x is missing.

So, the question would be:

tan 34° = x/20.

Now, to find the value of $x$:

$tan 34 = \frac{x}{20}$

$\frac{x}{20} = tan 34$

Multiplying both sides by 20 we get:

$x=tan 34\times 20$

On simplifying both sides we get:

$x=13.49$

So, to get the value of $x=13.49$ to nearest tenth is 13.5. As we see in hundredth place it is 9 and 4 in tenth place, so after rounding to tenth place 4 will change to 5 so the value is 13.5.

Therefore, the value of x = 13.5.
