Question

Solve for X and round to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Pretty sure it's 20.24.

Explanation:

Since you know the side adjacent to the reference angle and you want to find the side opposite, you're going to need to use tangent, which is opp/adj.

tan(39) =
`(x)/(25)`

Find the tangent of 39...

0.8097 is the approximate value. So...

0.8097 =
`(x)/(25)`

Now, switch the sides to make it easier.

`(x)/(25)` = 0.8097

Multiply both sides by 25.

x = 20.24
