Question

Find x.
a. 40.3
b. 37.2
c. 17.3
d. 19.1

Answer 1

x = 17.3

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opp / hyp

sin 25 = x /41

41 sin 25 = x

17.32734=x

Rounding to the tenths place

x = 17.3

Answer 2

We have to find,

The required value of x.

Now we can,

Use the trigonometric functions.

→ Sin(θ) = opp/hyp

Let's find the required value of x,

→ Sin (θ) = opp/hyp

→ Sin (25) = x/41

→ x = 41 × Sin (25)

→ x = 41 × 0.42262

→ x = 17.32734

→ [x = 17.3]

Hence, option (c) is the solution.
