Answer:

4.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shown is a right triangle having the following sides;

Opposite = 17

Adjacent = x

Angle of elevation = 75 degrees

Using SOH CAH TOA identity

Tan theta = opposite/adjacent

Tan 75 = 17/x

x = 17/tan 75

x = 17/3.73205

x = 4.6

Hence the value of x to the nearest tenth is 4.6
