Answer:
[tex] x = 8.57[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Here two triangles are given to us , which are attached to each other . Here we can use the concept of Trigonometry to find out the value of x. The angles of the triangle are 60° and 45° . Let the common side be p .
Step 1: Use the ratio of tan in upper triangle
[tex]\rm\implies tan60^o = \dfrac{perpendicular}{base} [/tex]
Substitute the respective values ,
[tex]\rm\implies \sqrt3=\dfrac{p}{7} [/tex]
Cross multiply ,
[tex]\rm\implies p = 7\sqrt3 [/tex]
Step 2: Use the ratio of cos in lower triangle
[tex]\rm\implies cos45^o = \dfrac{base}{hypontenuse} [/tex]
Substitute the respective values ,
[tex]\rm\implies \dfrac{1}{\sqrt2}=\dfrac{x}{7\sqrt3} [/tex]
Cross multiply ,
[tex]\rm\implies x= \dfrac{7\sqrt3}{\sqrt2} [/tex]
Put the approximate values of √2 and √3
[tex]\rm\implies x= \dfrac{7\times 1.732}{1.414} [/tex]
This equals to ,
[tex]\rm\implies \boxed{\blue{\rm \quad x = 8.57\quad}} [/tex]
Hence the value of x is 8.57 .
