Answer:

7.7

Explanation:

Find the third angle that is not given:

180 - (120 + 37) = 23.

Draw a line that cuts the 120 degree angle and makes two 90 degree angles with the opposite side. We will call this line h.

You can find the length of h by using sine of 37 degrees. We get:

sin(37 deg) = h/5

h = 3.01

Because we have already found the third angle, 23 degrees, we can use sine of 23 degrees to find the missing side length (x):

sin(23 deg) = 3.01/x

x = 7.7

Answer is 7.7
