Question

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.V4.1U43°W

Answer 1

For the angle 43 degree, perpendicular side is 4.1 and base side is x.

Determine the length of side x by using trigonometry.

`\begin{gathered} \tan 43=(4.1)/(x) \\ x=(4.1)/(\tan 43) \\ =4.396 \\ \approx4.4 \end{gathered}`

So value of x is 4.4
