Question

What is the value of x? Please help. Will mark brainliest ASAP

Answer 1

sin90°/47 = sin17°/x

xsin90° = 47sin17°

x = 47sin17°/sin90°

x = 13.741470121969

x ≈ 13.74

Hope this helps! ;)

Answer 2

Answer: 13.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a right angled triangle , we will apply SOHCAHTO, that is

sine = opposite/hypotenuse

cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse

Tangent = opposite / adjacent

From the diagram

opposite = x

hypotenuse = 47

This means that we are using sine , that is

sine 17 = x/ 47

x = 47sin 17

x = 47 x0.29233717047

x = 13. 74147012

to the nearest tenth

x = 13.7
