Question

Solve for the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

X would equal to 27 and that is my answer

Answer 2

x = 24.7

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opp side/ adj side

tan 20 = 9/x

x tan 20 = 9

x = 9/ tan 20

x = 24.72729678

Round to the nearest tenth

x = 24.7
