Question

Tangent 25 = x/15 rounded to nearest tenth

Answer 1

Value of x = 7.0 units.

Explanation:

Given the trigonometric equation

`\tan \left(25^(\circ )\right)=(x)/(15)`

Switch sides

`(x)/(15)=\tan \left(25^(\circ \:)\right)`

Multiply both sides by 15

`(15x)/(15)=15\tan \left(25^(\circ \:)\right)`

Simplify

`x=15\tan \left(25^(\circ \:)\right)`

∵ tan (25) = 0.46630

Thus,

x = 7.0 (rounded to nearest tenth)

Therefore, value of x = 7.0 units.
