Answer:

x = 3.6 cm

Explanation:

Since the figure above is a right angled triangle we can use trigonometric ratios to find x

To find x we use tan

tan∅ = opposite/ adjacent

From the question

x is the opposite

10 is the adjacent

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for x

That's


\tan(20) = (x)/(10)

x = 10 tan 20

x = 3.63970

We have the final answer as

x = 3.6 cm to the nearest tenth

Hope this helps you
