Question

Could someone please give me the answer to this?

Answer 1

We can use the trigonometric function [ sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse ] to solve.

sin(20) = 3/hypotenuse

hypotenuse = 3/sin(20)

hypotenuse = 8.7714...

Round to the nearest hundredth.

8.7714... → 8.77

Therefore, the answer is 8.77

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

? = 8.77

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opposite/ hypotenuse

sin 20 = 3/?

? = 3 / sin 20

? =8.7714132

To the nearest hundredth

? = 8.77
