The given triangle is a right angle triangle. Taking angle C as the reference angle,

hypotenuse = AC = 20

opposite side = AB = x

We would find x by applying the Sine trignometric ratio which is expressed as

Sin# = opposite side/hypotenuse

Thus,

Sin 35 = x/20

x = 20Sin35

x = 20 * 0.574

x = 11.48

Rounding to the nearest tenth,

x = 11.5
