Question

Find the value of x and round to the nearest tenth (geometry)

Answer 1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Just flip the triangle upside down, to make it look more sense.

(Angle) 17

|\

x | \ 47

|__\

We will use the sine trig function to solve for x.

sin(17) =
`(x)/(47)`

Multiply by 47 to both sides.

47(sin(17)) = x

Now input into a calculator and solve.

x = 13.74147012

x ≈ 13.7 is the answer.
