Question

Find the value of x. round to the nearest degree.​

Answer 1

`\large\boxed{x=15.983\ m\approx16\ m}`

Explanation:

Use tangent:

`tangent=(opposite)/(adjacent)`

We have:

`opposite=x\\adjacent=22\ m\\\alpha=36^o`

`\tan36^o\approx0.7265`

Substitute:

`(x)/(22)=0.7265`

`(x)/(22)=(7265)/(10000)` cross multiply

`10000x=159830` divide both sides by 10000

`x=15.983`
