X = 12.7sin38°
(This should be typed into a calculator - it’s the equation)

Remember the differences between sine, cosine, and tangent

If you set up the equation of:
sin theta = opposite / hypotenuse
You get sin38° = x / 12.7

You are trying to find x so multiply both sides by 12.7

* x is the opposite side because it is across from the angle given
