Question

Find x to the nearest tenth. A. 0.7 B. 1.0 C. 1.1 D. 1.4

Answer 1

the answer would be d. 1.4

Answer 2

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos33° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{1.2}{x}$

Multiply both sides by x

x × cos33° = 1.2 ← divide both sides by cos33°

x = $\frac{1.2}{cos33}$ ≈ 1.4 ( to the nearest tenth ) → D
