Consider the given right triangle.

We have to find the value of 'x'.

Consider
\tan 40^(\circ)

Since
\tan \Theta =(P)/(B)


\tan 40^(\circ) = (x)/(11)

Finding the value of
\tan 40^(\circ) from the calculator,

We get


\tan 40^(\circ) = 0.84

Now,
0.84 = (x)/(11)


x = 0.84 * 11

x = 9.24

x = 9.2 (Rounded to nearest tenth)

So, the value of 'x' is 9.2 cm.

Option 3 is the correct answer.
