Question

Can someone help me and solve for x

Answer 1

24? because the measure of 12 is half the size of x then the other half should be 12 too so i think 24. I AM VERY SORRY IF ITS WRONG!!!!!!!

Answer 2

x ≈ 14.6

Explanation:

Assuming the triangle is right.

Using the sine ratio

sin55° =
`(opposite)/(hypotenuse)` =
`(12)/(x)` ( multiply both sides by x )

x × sin55° = 12 ( divide both sides by sin55°

x =
`(12)/(sin55)` ≈ 14.6 ( to 1 dec. place )
