Law of sines can be used to solve this problem:

(note - let x represent the missing side length.)

1. set up proportion.
sin 90°/25 = sin 55<span>°/x

2. solve.
(x) sin 90</span>° = (25) sin 55<span>°

(x) sin 90 </span>°/sin 90° = (25) sin 55° / sin 90<span>°
</span>
x = 20.4788011072
rounded to nearest tenth = 20.5

The solution for right triangles is to use the basic trigonometric function:
For this problem, the length of the hypotenuse is given and we are looking for the side opposite, thus we will use sin x.
where 
x= 55 degrees
h=25 m
sin x= side opposite/hypotenuse
sin55=sideopposite/25m
25msin55=side opposite
side opposite = 20.5 m

What are the solutions of 6x2 + 2x – 20 = 0? x = x =
Darina [25.2K]

6x² + 2x - 20 = 0

3(2x² + x - 10) = 0

3[(2x² - 4x + 5x - 10)] = 0

3[2x(x - 2) + 5(x - 2)] = 0

3(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0

3=0, 2x + 5 = 0, x - 2 = 0 (Note: 3=0 is false so disregard that equation)

x = \frac{-5}{2} , x = 2

Answer: x = {\frac{-5}{2}, 2}
