Answer:

21.4 degrees =x

Explanation:

We can use the law of sines to solve this problem

sin A Sin B

------------ = ----------

a b

where A is the angle and a is the opposite side

sin 42 Sin x

------------ = ----------

22 12

Using cross products

12 sin 42 = 22 sin x

Divide by 22

12/22 sin 42 = 22/22 sin x

12/22 sin 42 = sin x

Take the arcsin of each side

arcsin (12/22 sin 42) = arcsin( sin x)

arcsin (12/22 sin 42) = x

21.40637223=x

Rounding to the nearest tenth

21.4 degrees =x
