Answer:

229.2

Explanation:

Remark

There's a lot in this question. The x is not just any x. It is defined and limited by its relationship with the sine function.

The Sin is defined as Opposite over Hypotenuse in a right triangle. The 670 is the Hypotenuse. You know that by the definition of Sine.

So one thing you should always keep in mind: the x because of where it is in the definition, will always be smaller than the Hypotenuse. So you should get a value less than 670.

Formula

Just as you have it

Sin(20) = x / 670

Solution

Multiply both sides by 570

670 * sin(20) = x

sin(20) = 0.3420

x = 670 * 0.3420

x = 229.2
