Question

Find the missing side length XI. round your answer to the nearest tenth.​

Answer 1

Answer: XI = 10.35 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the given triangle XIF, to determine XI, we would apply the sine rule. It is expressed as

a/SinA = b/SinB = c/SinC

Where a, b and c are the length of each side of the triangle and angle A, Angle B and angle C are the corresponding angles of the triangle. Likening it to the given triangle, the expression becomes

XI/SinF = XF/SinI = FI/SinX

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°. It means that

F + 63 + 52 = 180

F = 180 - (63 + 52)

F = 65°

Therefore

XI/Sin 65 = 9/Sin 52

Cross multiplying, it becomes

XISin52 = 9Sin65

0.788XI = 9 × 0.906

0.788XI = 8.154

XI = 8.154/0.788

XI = 10.35
