The given triangle is a right angled triangle having the follwoing sides;

Hypotenuse = x (longest side)

Opposite = 14 (side facing the given acute angle)

Theta = 15 degrees

Using the SOH trigonometry identity;

sin 15 = opposite/hypotenuse

sin15 = 14/x

x = 14/sin15

x = 14/0.2588

x = 54.09

x is approximately equal to 54.1. Option B is coorect
