Question

find the value of x. Round the side to the nearest tenth and the angle measure to the nearest degree

Answer 1

To find x, we have to use the sine function which is equivalent to the ratio between the opposite leg (14) and the hypotenuse (x).

$\begin{gathered} \sin 51=\frac{14}{x} \\ x=\frac{14}{\sin51} \\ x\approx21 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the x is equal to 21.
