Question

Find the value of x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

I need the actual problem that goes with this :)

Answer 2

due to lack of clairvoyance, we could use the picture of the material

Answer 3

Are you familiar with SOHCAHTOA?

Answer 4

The only way to solve this problem is by using the trig identities of SOHCAHTOA

Answer 5

Okay, so would the equation be tan61 = x/9?

Answer 6

Yes, exactly. And then you just use Algebra rules to get x by itself and plug the other side into a calculator for your answer.

Answer 7

So x would equal 16.2 rounding to the nearest 10th?

Answer 8

If 9/tan61 equals the 16.2, yes. (I don't have a calculator handy on me.)

Answer 9

Okay, thanks =)

Answer 10

No problem, good luck.
