Question

Find the value of x, round the length to the nearest meter

Answer 1

Answer: 405m

Explanation:

Answer 2

405m

EXPLANATION

We know the opposite side of of the right triangle to be 4629m and the given angle is 85°.

Since we want to find the adjacent side which is x units, we use the tangent ratio to obtain,

`\tan(85 \degree) = (opposite)/(adjacent)`

`\tan(85 \degree) = (4629)/(x)`

Solve for x.

`x = (4629)/(\tan(85 \degree))`

x=404.985

To the nearest meter, x=405m
