Find the value of x to the nearest tenth.

hypotenuse: 42
side b: 32
angle a: x°

you should get 40.4

We can use the sine function to solve for the value of angle a:

sin(a) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(x) = 32/42

sin(x) = 0.7619

To find the value of x, we need to take the inverse sine (sin^-1) of 0.7619:

x = sin^-1(0.7619)

x = 50.1° (to the nearest tenth)

Therefore, the value of x to the nearest tenth is 50.1°, not 40.4°. Please check the problem again or provide more information if needed.
