Question

help me but it will take me a while to put it up.

Answer 1

find the value of x.round to the nearest tenth

Answer 2

@heyy Do you know right triangle trig?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

@SmokeysTheName

Answer 5

That's where you will need to start. Learn those ratios.

Answer 6

@heyy directrix is helping.

Answer 7

oh yeah those i seen them but can you explain it to me

Answer 8

okay @SmokeysTheName

Answer 9

Look at the chart attached above.

sin 33 = the ratio of x to what in your problem? @heyy I knew you had seen them :)

Answer 10

Do you want Smokey to help? I don't want to intrude.

Answer 11

no i want you too

Answer 12

@Directrix

Answer 13

Okay.
The sine of an acute angle of a right triangle is the ratio of the side opposite the angle to the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

sin 33 = x/? What is the value of the hypotenuse?

Answer 14

14

Answer 15

Right.
So, sin 33 = x/14
or
x = 14 * (sin 33 degrees)
What is sine of 33 degrees?
Then, we'll multiply that by 14 and round to the nearest tenth of the value of x.

Answer 16

i dont know what the sin of 33 degrees is

Answer 17

Go to Google and enter sine of 33 degrees and see what value pops up.

Answer 18

0.9999118601

Answer 19

thats what showed up

Answer 20

I don't think so. Look at the attachment. @heyy

Answer 21

You entered sine of 33 which was interpreted as the sine of 33 radians. That is not what we are finding. We're doing sine of 33 DEGREES. @heyy

Answer 22

oh yes sorry

Answer 23

x = 14 * (sin 33 degrees)
x = 14 * (.544)
x = ---> What is the value of x, @heyy

Answer 24

7.616

Answer 25

thank you @Directrix

Answer 26

@heyy What is 7.616 to the nearest tenth?

Answer 27

7.7

Answer 28

@Directrix

Answer 29

@heyy To the nearest tenth means to look at 7.616 as 7 . 6 1. One is in the hundredths place. Is 1 equal to 5 or greater? No. So, to the nearest tenth,
7.616 is ----> 7 . 6 NOT 7.7
