Answer:

14.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using Pythagoras Theorem

The formula is given as:

c ² = a² + b ²

Where:

c = Hypotenuse

a = 8cm

b = 12 cm

Hence,

c² = 8² + 12²

c² = 64 + 144

c² = 208

We square root both sides

c = √(208)

c = 14.422205102 cm

Approximately to the nearest tenth = 14.4 cm

Trigonometry question! find the vaule of x. round to the nearest tenth!

atroni [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

Use tangent:

$tangent=\dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}$

We have a measure of the angle and length of the adjacent:

$\alpha=10^o,\ adjacent=500$

$\tan10^o\approx0.17633$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{x}{500}=0.17633$ <em>multiply both sides by 500</em>

$x=88.165\to x=88.2$
