Question

What is the value of X in the triangle below to the nearest degree? The triangle is not drawn to scale. I selected an answer but I’m not sure about it

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x we use the formula:

tan x° = opposite side /adjacent side

Opposite Side = 8

Adjacent Side = 17

tan x° = 8/17

tan x° = 0.4705882352941

$Tan^{-1}$ of $0.4705882352941$

x° = 25
