question 2
if \\(c = 6\\), find the value of \\(x\\) to the nearest tenth.
\\(x =\\) ______ (type your answer in blank 1)
blank 1:
Identify the given values and target variable
We are given a right-angled triangle with:
- Hypotenuse \(c = 6\)
- An angle of \(30^\circ\) opposite to the side labeled \(x\)
- An angle of \(60^\circ\) adjacent to the side labeled \(x\)
- We need to find the value of \(x\) to the nearest tenth.
Apply trigonometric ratios
Using the definition of the sine ratio for the \(30^\circ\) angle:
$$
\sin(30^\circ) = \frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{x}{c}
$$
Substitute the known values and solve for x
Substitute \(c = 6\) and \(\sin(30^\circ) = 0.5\):
$$
0.5 = \frac{x}{6}
$$
$$
x = 6 \cdot 0.5 = 3
$$
Round to the nearest tenth
The value of \(x\) is exactly \(3\), which can be written to the nearest tenth as \(3.0\).
