Answer:

x=10.93 or 10.9

Explanation:

To find x we use sin

sin(40) = 0.6427876097 then * 17

= 10.9273

= 11

We can check and plug in answer as inverse to find other side

11/sin (40degree) x (90 degree) = 17.11

If we plug in the original 10.9273 we actually find 17

So we should show the correct amount 10.9273 and if rounding try 10.93

10.93/sin (40 degree) x sin (90 degree) = 17.00
