Find the value of x. Round the length to the nearest tenth.

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle on the right side of the triangle is 10° ( alternate angle )
Since the triangle is right with hypotenuse x use the sine ratio to solve for x
sin10° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{200}{x}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by x
x × sin10° = 200 ( divide both sides by sin10° )
x = [tex]\frac{200}{sin10}[/tex] ≈ 1, 151.8 m
Answer:
The correct answer is first option
1151.8 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Points to remember
Trigonometric ratios
Sin ? = Opposite side/Hypotenuse
Cos ? = Adjacent side/Hypotenuse
Tan ? = Opposite side/Adjacent side
To find the value of x
From the figure we can see a right angled triangle.
We can write,
Sin 10 = opposite side/Hypotenuse
= 200/x
x = 200 * Sin 10
= 200 / 0.1736
= 1151.8
The correct answer is first option
1151.8 m
