Question

Determine side x. Round to the nearest unit. 20 9 12 5

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

First, you will have to use trigonometry. Since the side of the triangleis the opposite of the angle 53 and the hypotenuse, you will use sin.

Sin 53 degrees = opposite side / hypotenuse side.

The opposite side is x and the hypotenuse side equals 15.

sin53= x/15

15 ( sin 53 ) =x

x= 11.97953

Round

x=12
