Answer:
x = 13.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right use the tangent ratio to solve for x
tan41° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{x}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by x
x × tan41° = 12 ( divide both sides by tan41° )
x = [tex]\frac{12}{tan41}[/tex] ≈ 13.8 ( nearest tenth )
