Question

Solve for x. round to the nearest tenth. If necessary​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

• θ, angle = 30°
• Hypotenuse = x
• opposite side = 7

Solution :-

Since, it's right triangle we can use trignometery equations;

In this case we need to use sine equation.

sin θ = opposite side / hypotenuse

plug the values

sin 30° = 7 / x.

cross multiplication

x = 7 / sin 30°

Evaluate

x = 7 / 0.5

x = 14

Answer 2

Trigonometry

• [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA  
• [Right Triangles Only] sinθ = opposite over hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify variables

Angle θ = 30°

Opposite Leg = 7

Hypotenuse = x

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Substitute in variables [sine]:                                                                           sin(30°) = 7/x
2. [Multiplication Property of Equality] Cross-multiply:                                       x = 7/sin(30°)
3. Evaluate:                                                                                                           x = 14
