### Topic: Geometry - Finding the Value of x **Problem Statement:** Find the value of \( x \). Write the answer as a fraction in simplest form or as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth. **Image Description:** The image depicts a problem from a digital math assessment. There is a triangle diagram with the following details: - The entire diagram can be seen within a browser tab containing educational content. - Labelling: - Points A, B, C, and D are marked on the diagram forming two right triangles sharing a common side. - \( AD \) is divided into two parts: \( AC \) and \( CD \). - Measurements: - The length of \( AC \) is given as \( 16 \). - The length of \( AD \) is given as \( x \). - Angle \( CAD \) is given as \( 34^\circ \). - Angle \( DAB \) is given as \( 30^\circ \). **Question:** Calculate \( x \). **Assessment Navigation:** - Navigation options are seen at the bottom center of the screen: buttons for `Check`, `Help`, `Previous (PREV)`, `Next (NEXT)`. - The current question is question 5 out of a total of 6 questions. ### Instructions: 1. **Understand the Diagram:** - You have two right triangles involving the points A, B, C, and D. - Right Triangle \( \triangle ABC \) and \( \triangle ABD \). 2. **Identify Angles and Sides:** - Recognize the given angles and how they relate to the sides of the triangles. 3. **Trigonometric Relationships:** - Use appropriate trigonometric identities (e.g., sine, cosine, or tangent) to solve for \( x \). 4. **Calculations:** - Set up the equation using the given angles and side lengths. - Solve for \( x \). 5. **Writing the Answer:** - Ensure your answer is in the simplest form as a fraction or rounded to the nearest hundredth if a decimal. --- This problem assesses your understanding of trigonometry in right triangles, helping to review the use of trigonometric functions in finding unknown side lengths.
