Find the value of x.

x=6.09cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Working out AB:

7.5²+4.9²

= √80.26

AB= 8.96cm

To work out x:

AB is the opposite, where BC is the adjacent. This means that we have to use TOA.

x=8.96/Tan(55.8)

x= 6.09cm

6.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem for triangle ABD to find the hypotenuse.

7.5^2+4.9^2=c^2. After solving you get that the missing length is about 9 cm. The hypotenuse of ABD is also a leg for ABC so you can use a trigonometric function, tangent, to find x. Set up the equation for opposite and adjacent sides to angle measure 55.8. The equation is tan(55.8)=9/x. In order to isolate the variable you multiply both sides by x to get (x)tan(55.8)=9, then divide both sides by tan(55.8), this leaves you with x=9/tan(55.8). You can then plug this into the calculator to get x is approximately 6.1 cm.

the answer is c

hope this !
