1. Problem Description

The problem asks to solve for xx in the right triangle LMNLMN. We are given that angle NN is 6464^\circ, side LNLN is 4545, and side LMLM is xx. We need to round the final answer to the nearest tenth.

2. Solution Steps

Since triangle LMNLMN is a right triangle with right angle at vertex MM, we can use trigonometric ratios to relate the sides and angles. We have the following information:
* Angle N=64N = 64^\circ
* Side LNLN (adjacent to angle MM) = 4545
* Side LMLM (opposite to angle NN) = xx
We can use the tangent function:
tan(N)=oppositeadjacenttan(N) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}
tan(64)=x45tan(64^\circ) = \frac{x}{45}
x=45tan(64)x = 45 * tan(64^\circ)
Using a calculator:
tan(64)2.0503tan(64^\circ) \approx 2.0503
x452.0503x \approx 45 * 2.0503
x92.2635x \approx 92.2635
Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get:
x92.3x \approx 92.3

3. Final Answer

x92.3x \approx 92.3
