Final answer:

To find x to the nearest hundredths place, compare the digit after the hundredths place to 5 and round accordingly.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x to the nearest hundredths place, we need to look at the digits after the hundredths place and determine if we should round up or down.

In option A, x is 52.06 cm. Since the digit after the hundredths place is 6, which is greater than 5, we round up and the answer is 52.06 cm.

We can use trigonometry to solve this problem. Sin=opposite/hypotenuse. So, sin(65)=22/x. ( 22 is opposite because it’s the opposite to the labeled angle (65 degree angle). X is the hypotenuse ( we can find the hypotenuse by finding the right angle, hypotenuse is always located opposite to the right angle, or it can be found just by looking at the picture, hypotenuse will be the longest side.). Next, cross multiplication can be used. It’ll look like this: Sin65/1=22/x Sin(65)x=22. X=22/sin(65). X=24.27.
