Answer:
x = 16.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know the measure of an acute angle (31 degrees) of a right angle triangle, and of the side opposite to the angle (10), and we need to find the measure of the adjacent side "x", we use the tangent function:
which rounded to one decimal is
x = 16.6
Answer:
A.

- [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
- [Right Triangles Only] sinθ = opposite over hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
sin 30°
<u>Step 2: Solve</u>
Since sin is opposite over hypotenuse, we need to find the length of the opposite leg of the angle and the length of the hypotenuse.
Given the triangle and it's values, the opposite leg to the 30° angle is 1 and the hypotenuse is 2.
Substituting it into sin, we have:
sin 30° = 1/2 = 0.5
∴ our answer is A.
