There are two -main- approaches to answer this problem. By using the sine identity, or applying law of sines.
We'll do the sine trig. identity, as it is the most effective.
Given an angle '

' in a right triangle, '

' is defined as the opposite side of the triangle to the given angle, over the triangle's hypotenuse.
So, for this setup:

Now, we solve for x:
So, answer is 3.4
Answer:
length = (x − 8) units and width = (x − 9) units
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to factor
x^2 - 17x + 72
We need two numbers whose product is 72 and whose sum is -17.
The numbers are -8 and -9.
x^2 - 17x + 72 = (x - 8)(x - 9)
Answer: length = (x − 8) units and width = (x − 9) units
75 is one half the sum of 142 and 8
