What would x equal( rounded to the nearest tenth)

You are given the opposite: 16 km
You need to find x (adjacent)
The angle measure: 28 degrees
With opposite and adjacent, use tangent
Tan(28) = 0.5317094317
Tan(28) = 16/x
x = 16/0.5317094317
x = 30.0916
Round to nearest tenth
Solution: x = 30.1 km

8.5 i think cause i used tan but i haven’t done this in a while

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
