Question

Use trigonometric ratios to solve for X to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer: x = 106.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use either sin or cos.  I will use cos.

$cos\ \theta=\dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\\\cos\ 62^o=\dfrac{50}{x}\\\\\\x\ cos\ 62^o=50\\\\\\x=\dfrac{50}{cos\ 62^o}\\\\\\.\quad=\dfrac{50}{0.469}\\\\\\.\quad=106.5$
