Question

Instructions: Find the missing side. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

x =
28
MI
50⁰
Xx

Answer 1

Explanation:

x=tan50 x 28

x=33.4

Answer 2

Value of x is 33.4

Explanation:

In a right-angled triangle, the tangent of an angle is defined as the ratio of the perpendicular side to the base side.

The perpendicular side is the side opposite the angle, and the base side is the side adjacent to the angle.

In this case,

With respect to angle 50°

Perpendicular = x

Base = 28

Using Tan angle rule, we have

`\sf Tan\: Angle = (Perpendicular )/(Base)`

Substituting value

`\sf Tan 50^\circ= (x )/(28)`

Doing crisscross multiplication

`\sf x = Tan 50^\circ * 28`

`\sf x = 33. 3791`

In nearest 10th

`\sf x = 33.4`

The value of x in nearest 10th is 33.4
