Question

Find the value of x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. tan 12 degrees= ten over (x)

Answer 1

tan(12)=-0.6358599287. That means -0.6358599287 = 10/x so you can swap the x to the other side to make x = 10/-0.6358599287 Which equals -15.7 rounded to the nearest tenth.

Answer 2

the value of x is 47.0

Explanation:

`tan(12)=(10)/(x)`

now we need to find out x.

To find out x we need to get 'x' alone

Multiply by x on both sides

`x tan(12)= 10`

To isolate x, we divide by tan(12) on both sides

`x=(10)/(tan(12)) =47.04630`

So, the value of x is 47.0
