Question

Use a trigonometric ratio to determine the value of x for each the triangle. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

X here is opposite to the angle 26 degrees, so it is the opposite,

8 is the hypotenuse.

so

`(x)/(8)\text{ = }\sin 26\text{ , x= 8}\sin 26\text{ = 3.507 mm }\approx3.51\text{ to the nearest hundredth}`
