Question

May I please get help with this problem? for I have got it wrong multiple times and still cannot get the correct answer

Answer 1

x = 61.9°

Explanation:

Let's take a closer look at our triangle:

Since we're on a right triangle, we can say that:

`\sin(x)=(15)/(17)`

Solving for x,

`\begin{gathered} \sin(x)=(15)/(17)\rightarrow x=\sin^(-1)((15)/(17)) \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=61.9 \end{gathered}`
