Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you will have to use trigonometry. Since the side of the triangleis the opposite of the angle 53 and the hypotenuse, you will use sin.
Sin 53 degrees = opposite side / hypotenuse side.
The opposite side is x and the hypotenuse side equals 15.
sin53= x/15
15 ( sin 53 ) =x
x= 11.97953
Round
x=12
Jason likely missed placed the decimal, because 3 x 1 = 3, and if the decimal was between 2 and 5, the number would be near 3.
