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

i think the answer is 133 because a triangular has to be 180 degree so 35+12 is 47 and then 180-47 is 133

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not i don't think so .... 12 is not angle if i am not wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 is not an angle and 35 is an interior angle plus we are not working on that we are working with vectors right now which is stuff like tan, sin, and cosine.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay then yeah that is wrong sorry

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

As you should be... You have an angle...you have a side adjacent to that angle...and you want the side opposite that angle... Which trig function uses opposite and adjacent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tangent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Correct... \[\large \tan 35 = \frac{x}{12}\] Can you solve for 'x'?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8.4=x

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Correct @cheymariee
