I need one quick clarification: is the side of length 1 opposite the 30° angle (and x opposite 60°)? If so, this is a 30°–60°–90° triangle and
- sides are in ratio 1 : √3 : 2 (short leg opposite 30° : long leg opposite 60° : hypotenuse),
- so x = √3 ≈ 1.732 → to the nearest tenth x = 1.7.
If instead the 1 is the hypotenuse, then the side opposite 60° is √3/2 ≈ 0.866 (→ 0.9) and the side opposite 30° is 1/2 = 0.5. Send a picture or say which side the 1 labels if you want the exact case answered.
