Question

Find x giving your answer to 1 decimal place

Answer 1

Answer:

x is 10.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

from Lami's theorem:

$\frac{7}{ \sin(40 \degree) } = \frac{x}{ \sin(81 \degree) } \\ \\ x = \frac{7 \sin(81 \degree) }{ \sin(40 \degree) } \\ \\ x = 10.8 \: cm$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ \sin(81) }{x} = \frac{ \sin(40) }{7} \\ x \times \sin(40) = 7 \times \sin(81) \\ x = \frac{7 \times \sin(81) }{ \sin(40) } = 10.75 = 10.8 \: cm$
