Question

Instructions: Find the missing side. Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer: x ≈ 8.9 units

Explanation:

We can use trigonometric functions to help us solve this question.

`\displaystyle sin(\theta)=\frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{hypotenuse}}`

`\displaystyle sin(43)=(x)/(13)`

`\displaystyle 13(sin(43))=x`

`\displaystyle x= 13(sin(43))`

`\displaystyle x= 8.86597868`

`\displaystyle x \approx 8.9`
