In the figure of right triangle, the value of x is 49.5

How to find the value of x

Information from the question

A right triangle of

  • hypotenuse = x
  • one leg = 35
  • angle = 45 degrees

The side is worked using SOH CAH TOA

Sin = opposite / hypotenuse - SOH

Cos = adjacent / hypotenuse - CAH

Tan = opposite / adjacent - TOA

The side is calculated using cos, CAH

Sin = opposite / hypotenuse - SOH

sin 45 = 35 / x

x = 35 / sin 45

x = 49.5
