Question

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

Answer 1

I feel like your answer would be 9.2 cm

Answer 2

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.
