Question

Solve for x. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer 1

x is the hypotenuse

Answer 2

would i have to get tanθ=opposite/adjacent

Answer 3

here we know the side opposite the given angle and we need to find the hypotenuse

so which trig ratio do we use?

Answer 4

no not tan

Answer 5

sinθ=opposite/hypotenuse

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

sin(32) = 20/x right?

Answer 8

how would i calculate it?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

20 / sin(32)?

Answer 11

first isolate x :-

multiply both sides of the equation by x

Answer 12

yes x = 20 / sin 32

Answer 13
