Exercise is for a right triangle, then we can use triconometric ratios, on this case we will use sine


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

where alpha is the reference angle, O the opposite side to the reference angle and H the hypotenuse of the triangle

then using 37° as reference angle we replace


\sin (37)=(x)/(15)

and solve for x


\begin{gathered} 15\sin (37)=x \\ x=9.027 \end{gathered}

the rounded value of x is 9, then right option is C
