Question

Find x to the nearest tenth. Consult the table above if you need to find the correct tangent ratio.

x =

Answer 1

10 tan 20

Answer 2

tan 20 = x/10
x = 10 tan20
= 3.64

Answer 3

no but its supposed to be to the nearest tenth

Answer 4

then it is 3.6

Answer 5

thats correct but how did you do it

Answer 6

10 tan 20 is 3.64.
rounding off to the nearest tenth is 3.6

Answer 7

i got 3.63

Answer 8

okay it doesnt matter. rounding it off to the nearest tenth still gives 3;6

Answer 9

well i tried it with my other problem and it had 15 degrres and 5 and a x

Answer 10

so i did 5 tan 15 and i got 1.339

Answer 11

it is 5/ tan 15 for the other problem

Answer 12

u mean divided?

Answer 13

yes. tan 15 = opposite side / adjacent side = 5/x
which means x = 5 / tan 15

Answer 14

i got 18.66

Answer 15

so 18.7?

Answer 16

ok so rounding it off to the nearest tenth would give you 18.7

Answer 17

why did we divide it?

Answer 18

what is the definition of tan theta?

Answer 19

tangent
ratio

Answer 20

its right though

Answer 21

whhat i dont get is i take the concewpt of what you give me and i tryed it and it does not come out the same but when u do it it comes out right

Answer 22

in a right angled triangle, what does tan theta mean?
