Step-by-step explanation

The appropriate trigonometric ratio to obtain the value of x would be the sin ratio:


\sin\alpha=\frac{Opposite\text{ cathetus}}{Hypotenuse}

Where α = 55°, Opposite cathetus= 25 and Hypotenuse=x

Substituting terms:


\sin(55)=(25)/(x)

Multiplying both sides by x:


x\sin(55)=25

Isolating x:


x=(25)/(\sin(55))

In conclusion, the appropriate option is OPTION D.
