"Correct" Answer:

53

Explanation:

It's automadically 90 degrees because it's an acute angle, so you add 11 + 26 which gives you 37. Subtract 90 from 37 and it gives you 53, the variable.

26 + 11 = 37

90 - 37 = 53

Answer:

x ≈ 25.1

Explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin26° =
(opposite)/(hypotenuse) =
(11)/(x) ( multiply both sides by x )

x × sin26° = 11 ( divide both sides by sin26° )

x =
(11)/(sin26) ≈ 25.1 ( to 1 dec. place )
