Question

Find the value of X. Round the length to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

5.5 yd

Explanation:

The angle opposite to x is 20°

Reason: Alternate interior angles are equal

`(x)/(15)` = tan 20°

x = 15 × tan 20° = 5.459553514 yd

That is 5.5 yd (answer rounded off to nearest tenth).

Answer 2

5,5 yd.

Explanation:

YOu just have to clear the formula for Toa:

Toa 20º=
`(x)/(15)`

So the tan of 20 is ,363

Then the equation should be like this:

.363=
`(x)/(15)`

You clear the X to get:

(.363)(15)= X

X= 5,459
