Question

Find the value of x. Round the side to the nearest tenth and the angle measure to the nearest degree

Answer 1

To find x, we have to use the sine function which is equivalent to the ratio between the opposite leg (14) and the hypotenuse (x).

`\begin{gathered} \sin 51=(14)/(x) \\ x=(14)/(\sin51) \\ x\approx21 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the x is equal to 21.
