Question

I am unsure how to set this problem up so I can begin solving, can you please assist me?

Answer 1

Since it is a right triangle, we can apply trigonometric functions:

Sin a = opposite side / hypotenuse

Where:

a = angle = 25°

Opposite side = x

Hypotenuse = 30

Replacing:

Sin 25 = x / 30

Solve for x :

Sin 25 (30) = x

x = 12.68
