  x = 5.0

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent relation is helpful:

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(50°) = x/4.2

  x = 4.2·tan(50°) ≈ 5.0054 . . . . multiply by 4.2

  x ≈ 5.0

for finding the midpoint of any given 2 pair of points simply add the respective x coordinates with other x coordinate and the y coordinate with other y coordinate and divide them by 2

in your question it will be :

(3+1)/2 for the x coordinate of mid point i.e 2

[8+(-4)]/2 for the y coordinate of midpoint i.e 2

so coordinates of mid point of points (3,8) and (1,-4) will be (2,2)

rounding to the nearest thousandth would be 452,000
