Solve for
x. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Answer 1

9.25

Explanation:

We need to use SOHCAHOA

(Sine = opposite/ hypotenuse, Cosine = adjacent/ hypotenuse, and Tangent = opposite/adjacent)

We can label the chart by taking angle G and labeling the longest line to the right 'hypotenuse' and the left line adjacent. The farthest line is opposite.

That means we have to use sine = adjacent/ opposite:

Find the sine of the angle and plug it in for x:

`sine = (opposite)/(adjacent)\\ \\sine=(8.8)/(sine(72)) \\\\x = (8.8)/(sin(72)) \\\\x = 9.25`
