Question

Use a trigonometric function to find each value of x. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

4.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Using trig identity Tangent, tangent is equal to opposite / adjacent side. Therefore tan30 = x/7, because x is the side opposite to 30 degrees and it is adjacent to 7, (note: adjacent side is never the hypotenuse)

To save time, tan 30 = sqrt(3)/3,

sqrt(3)/3 = x/7

x = 7*sqrt(3)/3 ~ 4.041
