Question

Please help me find the value of x the answer must be exact

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=11$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 45°-45°-90° triangle. The two legs are the same length, and the hypotenuse is that length times the square root of two:

$leg=x\\hypotenuse=x\sqrt{2}$

Therefore, the value of x is 11.

You can double-check using the sine ratio:

$sineX=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

Insert the values:

$sin45=\frac{x}{11\sqrt{2} }$

Insert the equation into a calculator:

$x=11$

:Done

*It's important to know that, when working with trigonometry ratios, the hypotenuse is never considered the adjacent or opposite side, and the 90° angle is never used in the ratios.
