Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a 45°-45°-90° triangle. The two legs are the same length, and the hypotenuse is that length times the square root of two:
Therefore, the value of x is 11.
You can double-check using the sine ratio:
Insert the values:
Insert the equation into a calculator:
:Done
*It's important to know that, when working with trigonometry ratios, the hypotenuse is never considered the adjacent or opposite side, and the 90° angle is never used in the ratios.
