Problem
What is the approximate value of \( x \) in the figure below? \[ \begin{array}{|c|} \hline \sin 35^{\circ} \& 0.57 \\ \cos 35^{\circ} \approx 0.82 \\ \tan 35^{\circ} \& 0.70 \\ \hline \end{array} \] A 17.1 B 21.0 C 24.6 D 36.6
Solution
Step 1 ：\( x = \frac{0.57}{\tan 35^{\circ}} \)
Step 2 ：\( x = \frac{0.57}{0.70} \)
Step 3 ：\( x \approx 24.6 \)
