Find the value of x, rounded to the nearest tenth.
A.) 12.9
B.) 8.5
C.) 8.1
D.) 12.4

Answer:
The correct answer is C) 8.1
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve the equation for x, we can use trigonometric functions. Since we are given the side adjacent to the angle and the hypotenuse, we'll use cos.
Cos(α) = ADJ/HYP
Cos(36) = x/10
10Cos(36) = x
8.1 = x
