Answer:

x is 10.8 cm

Explanation:

from Lami's theorem:


(7)/( \sin(40 \degree) ) = (x)/( \sin(81 \degree) ) \\ \\ x = (7 \sin(81 \degree) )/( \sin(40 \degree) ) \\ \\ x = 10.8 \: cm

Explanation:


( \sin(81) )/(x) = ( \sin(40) )/(7) \\ x * \sin(40) = 7 * \sin(81) \\ x = (7 * \sin(81) )/( \sin(40) ) = 10.75 = 10.8 \: cm
