We can use trigonometric ratio to find the value of x

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

From the question,

θ=22 opposite = x hypotenuse = 15

substitute the values into the formula and evaluate

$\sin 22=(x)/(15)$

cross-multiply

$x=15\sin 22^0$
$x\approx5.6$

Therefore, the closest value is 5.6
