Question

Find the value of the variable to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

x = 34.7

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opposite/ hypotenuse

sin x = 4.9/8.6

Take the inverse of each side

sin^-1 sin(x) = sin^-1 (4.9/8.6)

x =34.7340

To the nearest tenth

x = 34.7
