Question

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is  x = 14.7  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

∠A = 20°

∠B = 46

a = 7

b = x

Process

To solve this problem use, the law of sines. This law states that the ratio of a side of a triangle to the sine of the opposite angle is the same for all three sides.

The law of sines for this problem is

                   x / sin 46 = 7 / sin 20

-Solve for x

                          x = 7 sin 46 / sin 20

-Simplification

                          x = 7 (0.719) / 0.342

                          x = 5.035/0.342

-Result

                         x = 14.7
