3. Find the value of w, then x. Round lengths of segments to the nearest tenth.​

Value of W = 13.33 unit (Approx)

Value of X = 24 unit (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Perpendicular = 12 unit

Find:

Value of W

Value of X

Computation:

Tan θ = Perpendicular / Base

Tan 42 = 12 / W

0.90 = 12 / W

Value of W = 13.33 unit (Approx)

Tan 27 = 12 / X

0.50 = 12 / X

Value of X = 24 unit (Approx)

d. crust becomes molten rock.

e. denser plates slide under lighter plates.
