Question

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

Answer 1

10.7

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions to calculate the hypotenuse.

We know the opposite side from the angle labeled 59 degrees.

sin 59 = opp side / hypotenuse

sin 59 = 9.2/x

x = 9.2/ sin 59

x = 10.733
