Question

Instructions: Find the missing side. Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

x≈64.3

Explanation:

since we already know the measures of 2 of the 3 angles in the triangle, we can find the 3rd angle:

180°-90°-25°=65°

now, we can use the law of sines to find the missing side:

sin25°/30=sin65°/x

x sin25°=30sin65°

x=(30sin65°/sin25°)

x≈64.33520762

rounded to the nearest 10th:

x≈64.3
