Answer 1

In this triangle, what is the value of x?

Enter your answer, rounded to the nearest tenth, in the box.

x = 56.7

Explanation:

Answer 2

56.7°

Explanation:

We solve this above question using the Trigonometric function of Sine

sin x = Opposite side/Hypotenuse

Opposite = 66mm

Hypotenuse = 79 mm

sin x = 66/79

x =arc sin(66/79)

x = arcsin(0.8354430379746836)

x = 56.661998553°

Approximately = 56.7°
