If = 38° and z = 68 cm, what is the value of x to the nearest tenth of a centimeter?
Its actually 41.9
Whats the point of putting the question on here and none of y'all gone answer it...
@6obbi
The answer is 53.6cm
Don’t listen to them it’s 53.6cm
To find the value of x, we can use the sine function in trigonometry. The sine function relates the lengths of the sides of a triangle to the measure of its angles.
In this case, we have a right triangle where one angle is 38° and one side is 68 cm (let's call it side z). We are looking for the length of the side opposite to the angle (let's call it side x).
The sine function can be written as sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenuse, where θ is the angle and opposite/hypotenuse represents the ratio of the length of the side opposite to the angle to the length of the hypotenuse.
Applying this to our problem, we have sin(38°) = x/68.
To solve for x, we can rearrange the formula as x = sin(38°) * 68.
Now, we can evaluate this expression using a calculator to find the value of sin(38°), multiply it by 68, and round the result to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.
Using a calculator, we find sin(38°) ≈ 0.6157.
Multiplying this by 68, we get x ≈ 0.6157 * 68 ≈ 41.8816.
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a centimeter, x is approximately equal to 41.9 cm.
