Question

To the nearest hundredth, what is the value of x? Explain.

Answer 1

To find this answer, we must use trigonometry.

Becuase the angle 48 degrees has a hypotenuse of x and an opposite leg of 67, we must use SINE.

So the equation would look like this:

sin48 = 67/x

Now we find the value of x.

x = 67/sin48

Plug this in your calculator and you get 90.16 units.

So the answer is C.
