it is a right triangle ebcase an angle is 90°

so, we can use trigonometric ratios

we will use sine


\sin (\alpha)=(O)/(H)

where alpha is the angle, O the opposite side from the angle and H the hypotenuse o the triangle

then, replacing


\sin (66)=(x)/(4)

we use the angle 66° becase we need to find x and x is the opposite side from it

now solve the expression for x


\begin{gathered} x=4\sin (66) \\ \end{gathered}

and calculate


x=3.65

The value of x is 3.65m
