Question

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Answer 1

The answer is 1.8

Explanation:

soh-cah-toa trigonometry. Cos 61=x/3.7. Isolate the variable. 3.7cos61=x. Solve for x. X= 1.793795595 (rounded to the nearest tenth the answer is 1.8)

Answer 2

ST = x = 1.8 (to the nearest tenth)

Explanation:

STU is a right triangle right angled at T with S =61° and hypotenuse SU=3.7 units.

ST = x = SUcos(61°) = 3.7cos(61°) = 3.7*0.48481 = 1.7938
