Question

Find the value of x. round your answer to the nearest tenth. tan 46 degree = x/12

Answer 1

Okay so start with getting the x by itself
tan46 = x/12
multiply both sides by 12
12tan46 = x
put that into a calculator and you get:
x=12.4

Answer 2

`x=12.4`

Explanation:

Given in an equation with trig ratio tan on left side as

`tan 46=(x)/(12)`

`1.0356(12) = x\\x=12.4`

Solution is x = 12.4

Verify:

When x=12,4

right side = 12.4/12

= 1.0356

=tan 46

Thus verified
