Question

Find x round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

x ≈ 437.3 ft

Explanation:

the angle on the right of the triangle is alternate to 29° and congruent

using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos29° =
`(adjacent)/(hypotenuse)` =
`(x)/(500)` ( multiply both sides by 500 )

500 × cos29° = x , then

x ≈ 437.3 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
