Question

Solve for x and if needed round to the nearest 10th please i need help

Answer 1

Check the picture below.

`\tan(61^o )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{12}}{\underset{adjacent}{x}} \implies x\tan(61^o)=12\implies x=\cfrac{12}{\tan(61^o)}\implies x\approx 6.7`

Make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.
