Answer:

x = 14.0902 (After rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth)

Explanation:

Using the bottom angle to solve x, the best option to use would be sine as we have the length for the opposite leg. Then we do the following:

Sin(69) = Opp/Hyp

Sin(69) = 14/x

0.9336 = 14/x

0.9336(x) = 14/x(x)

0.9336x = 14

0.9336x/0.9336 = 14/0.9936

x = 14.0902
