Question

Can someone please help solving for x

Answer 1

Answer:

x=6.7

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 x:

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

$sin(31^\circ)=\frac{x}{13}$

$13sin(31^\circ)=x$

$x=13sin(31^\circ)$

$x\approx6.7$

So, the opposite side is about 6.7 inches
