Question

Find the value of x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

`x=13.8`

Explanation:

• Since the triangle is right use the tangent ratio to solve for x

`tan41^o=(opposite)/(adjacent)=(12)/(x)`

• Multiply both sides by
  `x`

x ×
`tan41^o=12` ( divide both sides by
`tan41^o` )

x = ≈ ( nearest tenth )
