So in this question, we’re gonna use the sine trigonometric ratio, which equals opposite/hypotenuse.

sin32° = x (the opposite angle)/ 10 (the hypotenuse)

Then rearrange the equation to solve for x:
(10)(sin32°) = x

[Solve for sine using a calculator!]

(10)(0.529919264) = x

[Multiply]

5.299192642 = x

[Round to the nearest tenth]

x ≈ 5.3


I hope this helped!
