Question

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

Answer 1

Answer: 7.6 units.

Explanation:

You can find x by using the tangent of x.

Use SOHCAHTOA to remember the correct equation; tangent = opposite/adjacent.

`tan(27`°
`)`
`=(x)/(15)`

Use a calculator to solve for x, which can be simplified to 15 * tan 27 degrees.

x = 7.64288...

Rounding to the nearest tenth, you get 7.6 units.

Answer 2

7.6

Explanation:

Alright, we're using a trig function, Tan (angle) = opposite side / adjacent side

In our case tan(27) = x/15

if we multiply both sides by 15 we get

15 tan (27) = x

which means x =7.6 (rounding to the nearest tenth)
