Sagot :

Let's focus out attention on the triangle:

Since the yellow triangle and the white triangle in the image are similar, we can say that

[tex]\angle BCA=10[/tex]

Since we're focusing on a right triangle, we can use the trigonometric formula

[tex]\tan (\alpha)=\frac{opposite\text{ side}}{\text{adjacent}}[/tex]

In this case

[tex]\tan (10)=\frac{x}{500}[/tex][tex]\tan (10)\approx0.1763[/tex][tex]0.1763\cdot500=x[/tex][tex]x=88.16[/tex]

Round to the nearest tenth

[tex]x=88.2[/tex]
