Question

In RST, the measure of

Answer 1

Explanation:

sin 64=x/5.8

x=sin64* 5.8

x=0.92*5.8

x=5.3

Answer 2

5.2 feet.

Explanation:

The useful equation to use for this problem is sine. Given the angle of measure 64 degrees, we have O (opposite) and H (hypotenuse).

From SOH CAH TOA, we see that we have O and H, so thus we should use sine.

Sine of any angle= opposite/hypotenuse.

Sine of 64= x/5.8

Sine of 64 (times 5.8)=x

x= 5.2 feet.

Additionally, you could use a right triangle calculator to solve for side x.
