Find the value of x, rounded to the nearest tenth

x=12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right angle triangle.

We cannot use the Pythagoras theorem as the lengths of all sides are not known. We will use triangular ratios here to solve the given problem.  

As it is clear from the diagram that x is the hypotenuse of the triangle and 11 is the length of the base. We will use a ratio in which base and hypotenuse are used.

So,

cos ⁡θ= base/hypotenuse

cos⁡ 28=11/x

x=11/cos⁡28  

x=11/0.8829

x=12.45

Rounding off to nearest 10

x=12.5

the answer would be d

straight away you can eliminate a and c because not all books contain a scientific skill because some may be fiction. c is also wrong because it saids that the only way children can learn is through books which is incorrect.

b is also wrong because reading can be a scientific skill but not always, therefore it is wrong which leaves you with d, the correct answer since it said that it can children learn.

hope this ! : 3
