Question

Need help solving for X

Answer 1

Here, opposite angle of hypotenuse will be 28.
As we can round-off to nearest value, we can consider it for 30.

Now, sin 30 = P / H
1/2 = 350 / H
H = 350 * 2
H = 700 feet

So, your final answer is 700 Feet

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

You can find the complementary angle for 28° first, which is 90°-28°=62°. Since this is a right triangle, you can then use trigonometry to find x (the hypotenuse). You have the angle and the adjacent side, so plug and play:

cos 62° = 350 / x
x = 350 / cos 62°
x = 745.5 ft
