Question

Help ASAP!!!!

1. Solve for x. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

Answer 1

x ≈ 34.28

Explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan29° =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)` =
`(19)/(x)` ( multiply both sides by x )

x × tan29° = 19 ( divide both sides by tan29° )

x =
`(19)/(tan29)` ≈ 34.28 ( to the nearest hundredth )

Answer 2

The answer is option B

34.28

Explanation:

To solve for x we use tan

tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent

From the question

The adjacent is x

The opposite is 19

So we have

tan 29 = 19/ x

x = 19/ tan 29

x = 34.276

x = 34.28 to the nearest hundredth

Hope this helps
