when running a line, in a right-triangle, from the 90° angle perpendicular to its opposite side, we will end up with three similar triangles, one Small, one Medium and a containing Large one, from where we can use proportions to get their sides, so Check the picture below.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find x, a missing side in a triangle.
This is a right triangle because there is a small square in the corner representing a 90 degree or right angle. Therefore, we can use right triangle trigonometry. The three main functions are:
- sinθ= opposite/hypotenuse
- cosθ= adjacent/hypotenuse
- tanθ= opposite/adjacent
Examine the triangle. We will use angle S, measuring 54 degrees, for theta. Side QR, measuring x, is <u>opposite</u> angle S. Side QS, measuring 2.3, is the <u>hypotenuse</u> because it is opposite the right angle. Since we have the opposite and hypotenuse, we will use sine.

- θ= 54
- opposite= x
- hypotenuse = 2.3

We are solving for x, so we must isolate the variable. It is being divided by 2.3 The inverse operation of division is multiplication, so we multiply both sides by 2.3




Round to the nearest tenth. The 6 in the hundredth place to the right tells us to round the 8 up to a 9.

x is approximately <u>1.9</u>

Because the altitude of parallelogram is perpendicular to the base and it is the height of the parallelogram so in this way every choices B. and C. are right sure
but than you check so choice - but there is something mistake bc. you wrote two choices D. so the second what say ,,it is used in finding area of a parallelogram" is right too
hope helped
