Question

Select the correct answer for x, each answer is rounded to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

x ≈ 27.2

Explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin54° =
`(opposite)/(hypotenuse)` =
`(22)/(x)` ( multiply both sides by x )

x × sin54° = 22 ( divide both sides by sin54° )

x =
`(22)/(sin54)` ≈ 27.2 ( to the nearest tenth )
