tenth.
30
х
22°

Answer 1

x=74.3

Explanation:

tan 22= opp/adj

tan 22=30/x

x=30/tan 22

x=30/0.40402=74.3 unit

Answer 2

x = 74.3 to the nearest tenth

Explanation:

In order to solve for x we use tan

tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent

From the question

x is the adjacent

30 is the opposite

So we have

tan 22 = 30/x

x = 30/tan 22

x = 74.25260

x = 74.3 to the nearest tenth

Hope this helps you
