Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth. The diagram is not to scale.

Base 1 = 48
Base 2 = unneeded
Leg = x
upper angle is 37 degrees
includes a right angle

1 answer

To find the value of x, we can use the tangent function in a right triangle:

tan(37) = x / 48

x = 48 * tan(37)
x ≈ 34.7

Therefore, the value of x is approximately 34.7.
