Question

Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth. Diagram is not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

please show work

Answer 2

What are you having trouble with? Finding \(x\) or rounding? :P

Answer 3

idk how to find X

Answer 4

Have you not been studying your trigonometry? ;P

Answer 5

im in geometry

Answer 6

I'll give you a hint:\[\cos24=\frac{11}{x}.\]

Answer 7

wat is cos?

Answer 8

It's a trigonometric function.

Answer 9

so wat do i do

Answer 10

Solve the above equation for \(x\). I recommend you use a calculator.

Answer 11

And set it to compute the cosine in degrees, not radians.

Answer 12

ok giv me a sec i didn't no i wld need that kind of a calc.

Answer 13

ok i got for cos 24 4.2

Answer 14

@across u there

Answer 15

idk how to do this

Answer 16

Calculators have two settings for computing trigonometric functions: in degrees and in radians. You want to compute degrees for this problem. So, you should get:\[\cos24\approx0.91.\]If you solved for \(x\) like I told you, you would've obtained that\[x=\frac{11}{\cos24}.\]Can you now plug and play?

Answer 17

i got 25.9 = 26

Answer 18

i mean 25.9

Answer 19

is that right?

Answer 20

\[\frac{11}{\cos24}\approx\frac{11}{0.91}\approx12\]

Answer 21

o ok thanks is that the answer
