Answer:

x = 57.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

  • opposite length : 11
  • hypotenuse length : 13


\sf sin(x)= (opposite)/(hypotensue)


\hookrightarrow \sf sin(x) = (11)/(13)


\hookrightarrow \sf x = sin^(-1)((11)/(13) )


\hookrightarrow \sf x = 57.8

Answer:

57.8° (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the sine trig ratio:


\mathsf{\sin(\theta)=(O)/(H)}

where:


  • \theta is the angle
  • O is the side opposite the angle
  • H is the hypotenuse

Given:


  • \mathsf{\theta=x}
  • O = 11
  • H = 13


\implies \mathsf{\sin(x)=(11)/(13)}


\implies \mathsf{x=\arcsin(11)/(13)}


\implies \mathsf{x=57.8 \textdegree \ (nearest \ tenth)}
