Question

In this triangle, what is the value of x? Enter your answer, rounded to the nearest tenth, in the box. x = yd A right triangle with one leg labeled x and the other leg labeled 40 yards. The angle that is opposite the leg labeled x yards is labeled 62 degrees.

Answer 1

Answer:

75.2

Step-by-step explanation:

just took the test...used cosine

Answer 2

Answer: 47.4 yds.

So, if this is a right triangle then you will have a hypotenuse, opposite Leg, and the adjacent. I get it that the first Leg is X an the other is 40 and the hypotenuse is 62.

C=62

A=40

B= X

We gonna use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem

C^2=a^2+b^2

62^2=40^2+x^2

x^2 = (62^2) -(40^2)

x^2= 3844-1600

x^2= 2244

x= 47.3708771293
