Find x to the nearest tenth.

18.7
1.3
19.3

To solve this problem, we will need to use trigonometry.

Remember: SOH-CAH-TOA

Looking from the angle, we know the opposite side and want to find the adjacent side. Therefore, we should use the tangent function.

tan(15) = 5 / x

x * tan(15) = 5

x = 5 / tan(15)

x = 18.7 units

Hope this helps!! :)

maybe i can

step-by-step explanation:

m

=

5

m1=5

b

=

−

1

b=-1

find the slope and y-intercept of the second equation.

b=-6

compare the slopes

m

2

=

0

m1=5,m2=0

compare the two slopes in the decimal form. if the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. if the slopes are not equal, then the lines are not parallel.
