Question

Solve for x . Round to the nearest tenth of a degree, if necessary.

Answer 1

x= 53.1

Explanation:

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

sin theta = opp / hyp

sin x = .4 / .5

Taking the inverse sin of each side

sin^-1 ( sin x) =sin ^-1(.4/.5)

x=53.13010235

To the nearest tenth

x= 53.1
