Answer:
option C is correct
The approximate value of x is, 4.6 cm(nearest to tenth)
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given figure; the triangle is right angle triangle:
Label the figure:
then, the triangle XYZ is right angle triangle.
Using trigonometric ratio:
The ratio of the opposite side of a right triangle to the hypotenuse is called the sine. i.e,
[tex]Sine=\frac{opposite}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]
using sine ratio in triangle XYZ:
[tex]\sin 50^{\circ} = \frac{XY}{XZ}[/tex]
Substitute the value of XY = x cm and XZ = 6 cm in above ratio:
[tex]\sin 50^{\circ} = \frac{x}{6}[/tex] or
[tex]0.76604444247801 = \frac{x}{6}[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]x= 4.59626665[/tex] cm
Therefore, the approximate value of x nearest to tenth is, 4.6 cm
