Question

Find the measure of x round to the nearest 10th

Answer 1

Given:

The right angled triangle is given.

One side of a triangle (height) = a =

`x`

Other side of a triangle (base) = b= 19.

One of the angles of a triangle =

`41\degree`

One angle is right angled.

Required:

Measure of x.

Answer:

Let us find the measure of side of a triangle using the formula,

`\begin{gathered} tan\theta=(a)/(b) \\ tan(41\degree)=(x)/(19) \\ 0.86928=(x)/(19) \\ x=0.86928*19 \\ x=16.51632 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the value rounded nearest to the 10th is,
