Answer:


\Huge\boxed{x = 11.3}

Explanation:

sin = opposite divided by the hypotenuse

the opposite side of the angle that has a measure of 70 degrees is x and the hypotenuse is 12

so
sin70=(x)/(12)

we want to isolate the variable using inverse operations

to get rid of the 12 we multiply each side by 12


(x)/(12) *12=x\\sin70*12=12sin70

we're left with


x = 12sin70

now we let a calculator do the rest of the work

x = 11.27631145

our final step is to round to the nearest tenth

So we can conclude that x = 11.3
