Question

Solve for x in the triangle. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 12.9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Note:

The following is sin formula:

$\sin( \theta) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

1) Using the sin formula

$sin(59) = \frac{x}{15}$

2) Multiply both sides by 15

$15 \sin(59) = \frac{x}{15} \times 15$

3) Divide both sides by sin(59)

$\frac{15 \sin(59) }{ \sin(59) } = \frac{x}{ \sin(59) }$

4) Find the value of x

$x = 15 \sin(59)$

$x = 12.9$
