Question

Can someone please help solving for x

Answer 1

x=6.7

Explanation:

In relation to the given angle, we are given the triangle's opposite side and hypotenuse. Therefore, we use the sine function to set up a proportion and solve for x:

`sin(\theta)=(opposite)/(hypotenuse)`

`sin(31^\circ)=(x)/(13)`

`13sin(31^\circ)=x`

`x=13sin(31^\circ)`

`x\approx6.7`

So, the opposite side is about 6.7 inches
