Question

Find the value of X round the link to the nearest 10th the diagram is not drawn to scale

Answer 1

x ≈ 8.4 cm

Explanation:

Since the triangle is right use the tangent ratio to find x

tan35° =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)` =
`(x)/(12)`

Multiply both sides by 12

12 × tan35° = x, hence

x ≈ 8.4 cm ( to the nearest tenth )
