Answer 1

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below:

Calculate the value of x

Opposite = 5

adjacet = x

`tan\theta=(opp)/(adj)`
`\begin{gathered} tan50=(5)/(x) \\ x=(5)/(tan50) \\ x=(5)/(1.19175) \\ x=4.1955 \\ x=4.2\text{ \lparen nearest tenth\rparen} \end{gathered}`

Therefore the correct value of x = 4.2
