Answer:

B.) 7.2

Explanation:

Use the sine ratio,
sine=(opposite)/(hypotenuse) , because we know the value of the hypotenuse and need to know the value opposite the given angle, 28°. Insert the values:


sin28=(x)/(15)

Solve for x. Multiply both sides by 15 to isolate x:


15*(sin28)=15*((x)/(15))\\\\15*sin28=x\\\\x=15*sin28

Enter value into calculator:


x=7.042...

Round to the nearest tenth:


x=7.0

Option B is closest to the value of x.

Finito.
