To the nearest hundredth, what is the value of x?

a - 85.81
b - 60.42
c - 55.16
d - 46.28

Answer choice:  [B]:  " 60.42 " .


Using "SOH CAH TOA" ; 

Use:  "TOA" ;   Tangent = opposite/ adjacent; or, tan = opp/adj ;

  tan 40 = x / 72  ;  x = opposite, 72 = adjacent,

x = (tan 40) * (72) ;  or, write as:  " x = 72 (tan 40) "

Using a calculator:

x = 72 * (tan 40) = 60.415173444744 ;

round to the nearest hundredths → 60.42 ;

   → which is:  Answer choice:  [B] .
