Answer:
4 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of a rectangle is reduced by Shawna to a size of 2 inches.
The original width of the rectangle was 24 inches and the height was 12 inches.
If the ratio of width to height remains the same, then we can find the new width.
If the new width is x inches then, we can write
⇒ x = 4 inches. (Answer)

Step-by-step explanation:
So 43 degrees, you know the length of the opposite side (27) and the angle (43 degrees), the only unknown is the hypotenuse. So you're looking for a trigonometric ratio that uses the angle (all of them do, except technically the inverse don't), the opposite side, and the hypotenuse. Sine is defined as . So let's plug in known values:
Multiply both sides by x
divide both sides by sin(43)
Normally I would use a calculator, but in this case I'll use the approximation given in the problem of 0.682
simplify the fraction
