Question

7
45°
X
Find the value of x . Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

7√2

Explanation:

From the diagram given;

Hypotenuse = x

Opposite = 7

Angle = 45 degrees

According to SOH CAH TOA identity

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 45 = 7/x

x = 7/sin45

x = 7/1/√2

x = 7 * √2/1

x = 7√2

Hence the value of x is 7√2
