Answer:

The value of x = 13.5.

Explanation:

In this question x is missing.

So, the question would be:

tan 34° = x/20.

Now, to find the value of
x:


tan 34 = (x)/(20)


(x)/(20) = tan 34

Multiplying both sides by 20 we get:


x=tan 34* 20

On simplifying both sides we get:


x=13.49

So, to get the value of
x=13.49 to nearest tenth is 13.5. As we see in hundredth place it is 9 and 4 in tenth place, so after rounding to tenth place 4 will change to 5 so the value is 13.5.

Therefore, the value of x = 13.5.
