your answer would be sin30)=x/c
sin is the opposite side over the hypotenuse.

Answer:

c= x/sin 30

or

c = x / cos 60

Explanation:

sin theta = opposite side / hypotenuse

sin 30 = x /c

Multiply each side by c

c sin 30 = x/c *c

c sin 30 = x

Divide each side by sin 30

c sin 30/sin 30 = x/ sin 30

c= x/sin 30

Another valid expression would be

cos theta = adjacent side / hypotenuse

cos 60 = x/c

Multiply by c

c cos 60 = x/c *c

c cos 60 =x

Divide by cos 60

c cos 60/ cos 60 = x / cos 60

c = x / cos 60
