Question

To the nearest hundredth, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

SOH, CAH, TOA
\[\sin (\alpha)=\frac{ Opposite }{ Hypotenuse }\]
\[\cos (\alpha)= \frac{ Adjecent }{ Hypotenuse }\]
\[\tan (\alpha)= \frac{ Opposite }{ Adjecent }\]

Answer 2

with this information, can you see which of the 3 equations applies to this picture?

Answer 3

thhe last ?

Answer 4

You know the size of the Hypotenuse (the longest side) and you want to know the size of the adjacent one

Answer 5

the one adjacent to the known angle, that is.

Answer 6

the first?

Answer 7

No, it's the second. Because you want to know the adjacent side, not the opposite one.

Answer 8

then knowing that how do i solve for the value of x

Answer 9

\[\cos (41°)=\frac{ x }{ 55 }\]

Answer 10

simply fill in what you know and what you want to know
