Question

Solve for x in the triangle. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

x = 4.95

Explanation:

according to the pythagoras theorem,

hypotenuse² = base² + perpendicular²

according to the given triangle

5² = x² + sin 32°

25 = x² + .53

x² = 25 - .53

x² = 24.47

x = √24.47

x = 4.95
