Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

  • x is opposite the 90 degree angle. It is the hypotenuse.
  • 15 is opposite the 66 degree angle. It is the side opposite.
  • The side opposite and the hypotenuse define the sin(theta).

Formula

sin(theta) = side opposite / hypotenuse

Givens

Theta = 66 degrees

Hypotenuse = x

Side Opposite = 15

Solution

  • Sin(theta) = 15 / x Multiply both sides by x
  • x*sin(theta) = 15 Divide by Sin(theta)
  • x = 15/sin(theta)
  • x = 15 / sin(66)
  • sin(66) = 0.9135
  • x = 15/ 0.9135
  • x = 16.42
