Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The square root property requires a quantity squared by itself on one side of the equation. The only quantity squared is x, so divide both sides by 2 before applying the square root property.
The x variable should be isolated on one side of the equation. The x variable is squared so before performing the square root property where we take the square root of both sides, we divide both sides by 2, then take the square root of both sides.
Dividing both sides by 2.
Taking the square root of both sides.

Answer:
21.8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
A useful way to write the Law of Sines relation when solving for side lengths is ...
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B)
Then the solution for 'a' is found by multiplying by sin(A):
a = sin(A)(b/sin(B)) = b·sin(A)/sin(B)
__
We need to know the angle A. Its value is ...
A = 180° -75° -31.8° = 73.2°
Then the desired length is ...
a = (22 cm)sin(73.2°)/sin(75°) ≈ (22 cm)(0.9573/0.9659)
a ≈ 21.8 cm
_____
I like to use the longest side and largest angle in the equation when those are available. That is why I chose 75° and 22 cm.
