Remark
This will be a little late, but I'll answer it anyway. The more you see of the sine law, the clearer it will be.
Step One
Set up the sine Law.
Step Two
Substitute values
Sin(x) = ??
sin(75) = 0.9659
Step Three
Cross multiply and Solve
22* Sin(x) = 12 * 0.9659
22* Sin(x) = 11.591 divide by 22
sin(x) = 11.591 / 22
sin(x) = 0.5269
Step Four
You have to know how to use the inverse of an angle to get the answer. I do it as my calculator would do it. If it doesn't work with yours, let me know.
x = sin^-1(0.5269)
2nd F

You should get 31.79 degrees.
Answer:
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value
sin45° =
sin45° = =
Multiply both sides by y
y × sin45° = 9, that is
y × = 9
Multiply both sides by
y = 9
Assuming we're dealing with , which is the same as writing (x+2)/(-5) < 4, then the answer is choice C.
We multiply both sides by -5 and this will flip the inequality sign.
-------------------------------------
Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign.
An example would be saying -2x < 10 leads to x > -5
What we can do is divide both sides by -2 and flip the inequality sign, or we could follow the steps shown below
- -2x < 10
- 0 < 10+2x ... adding 2x to both sides
- -10 < 2x ... subtracting 10 from both sides; this is one way to see why the sign flip happens
- 2x > -10
- x > -10/2 ..... dividing both sides by 2
- x > -5
