Answer:

4.69 inches

Explanation:

sin = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 23 = a/12

To solve for a, multiply both side by 12, so a is by itself.

12 · sin23 = a/12 · 12

12 · sin23 = a

use your calculator to find the sin of 23, which is approximately 0.390731128

Multiply by 12

0.390731128 * 12 = 4.688
