Answer:

x = 5.13 yards to the nearest tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is redrawn and labelled in the attached photo.

It is labelled as triangle ABC. Angle A is determined to be 25 degrees. This is because it is alternate to 25 degrees at the top.

To find x, we will apply trigonometric ratio

Tan # =opposite side / adjacent side

Where # = 25 degrees

Opposite side = x

Adjacent side = 11

Tan 25 = x/11

x = 11tan25

x = 11× 0.4663

x = 5.1293 yards

x = 5.13 yards to the nearest tenth.

Find the value of x. Round the length to the nearest tenth.-example-1
