Question

Can someone please help me find the value of X?

Answer 1

Given a right angle triangle

We need to find the angle x

As shown:

The opposite side to the angle x = 6

The adjacent side to the angle x = 11

So, we will find x using the tan function as follows:

`\begin{gathered} \tan x=(opposite)/(adjacent)=(6)/(11) \\ \\ x=\tan ^(-1)(6)/(11)\approx28.61 \end{gathered}`

rounding to the nearest tenth

x = 28.6
