Find x to the nearest tenth. 1: 1.3 2: 18.7 3: 19.3 i got 1.3, but was told it's wrong. what is the right answer, and could you walk me through how to solve it?

The correct answer is 18.7.

So I kind of went an indirect way but I can explain it all. I ignored the 15°. The box in the right correct means that angle is 90°. Since a triangle is always 180°, I subtracted 90 and 15 from 180. That gives you 75°. Now that you know that you can use tangent from SOH CAH TOA. So... tan75= x/5 which turns into 5tan75°. Plug that into a calculator and you get 18.66 which rounds to 18.7.

If you need anymore help I'm here. Hope I helped :) Good luck!
