Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

VW, also know as side X (as shown in image) can be found using the sine. Sin(theta)=opposite/hypotenuse. In this case, theta is 31 degrees and the hypotenuse is 31 feet. Plugging in all known values, we would have sin(31)=x/31. Rearrange the equation and isolate X on one side. Then use a calculator to find the answer. Good luck!
