Question

What is the value of x round to the nearest tenths

Answer 1

x = 24.6

Explanation:

Reference angle = 26°

Opposite side to reference angle = 12

Adjacent side = x

Thus, apply TOA (trigonometric ratio)

Tan 26 = opp/adj

Tan 26 = 12/x

x × tan 26 = 12

x = 12/(tan 26)

x = 24.6 (nearest tenths)
