Answer:

$-x^2+24x-70$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x-1)^2+(2-x)^2-3(x-5)*(x-5)\\=> (x - 1)^2 + (2 - x)^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> x^2 - 2x + 1 + 4 - 4x + x^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> x^2 - 2x + 5 - 4x + x^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> x^2 - 6x + 5 + x^2 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> 2x^2 - 6x+5 - 3(x - 5)^2\\=> 2x^2 - 6x+5 - 3(x^2 - 10x + 25)\\=> 2x^2 - 6x+5 - 3x^2+30x-75\\=> -x^2 - 6x + 5 + 30x - 75\\=> -x^2 + 24x + 5-75\\=> -x^2+24x-70$

Formula used =

$(a-b)^2 = a^2+ 2ab + b^2$

Answer:

$x\approx7.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

In relation to the given angle, we are given the triangle's opposite side and hypotenuse. Therefore, we use the sine function to set up a proportion and solve for the opposite side:

$sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$
