You have the opposite side to the angle and need to find the hypotenuse.

Sin of an angle=opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 32=7/x

Solve for x

That's what I did, ended up with 3.71, but apparently it was an incorrect answer :l

anonymous · Answer

Multiply both sides by x.

sin32(x)=7

divide both sides by sin 32

x=7/sin 32

what does that give you?
