Question

Find the value of X using Trigonometry. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. ​

Answer 1

x=10.34

Explanation:

tanФ=opposite ÷ adjacent

tan41°=9/x

0.87=9/x

x=9/0.87

=10.34

Answer 2

x ≈ 10.4

Explanation:

using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan41° =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)` =
`(9)/(x)` ( multiply both sides by x )

x × tan41° = 9 ( divide both sides by tan41° )

x =
`(9)/(tan41)` ≈ 10.4 ( to the nearest tenth )
