Answer:

18.5

Explanation:

You are given the opposite side, and need to find the hypotenuse, leading you to use sine.

Set it up, like so:


sin67=(17)/(x) \\

Multiply everything by x, to remove it from the denominator:


x(sin67=(17)/(x) )\\xsin67 = 17

Divide both sides by sin67:


x = (17)/(sin67) \\x = 18.46

Round to nearest tenth:

x = 18.5
