Step-by-step explanation

Since this is a right triangle, we can compute the value of x by applying the trigonometric ratio, as shown as follows:


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

Plugging in the terms:


\sin x=\frac{Opposite\text{ cathetus}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=(7)/(9.4)

Computing the fraction:


\sin x=(7)/(9.4)=(35)/(47)

Applying sin^-1 to both sides:


x=\sin ^(-1)((35)/(47))

Computing the argument:


x=48.131693\text{ degre}es

Rounding to the nearest tenth:


x=48.1\text{ degre}es

In conclusion, the value of x is 48.1 degrees
