Answer: 4.46cm

Explanation:

Use [SOH CAH TOA]

We have two sides that are labeled. Use 85cm and x.

Using the angle 63 degrees would mean you are using SOH.

SOH = Opposite/Hypotenuse.

If the above is true, then: Sin63 = x/85

Since we don't know what x is, you want to move 85 to the other side.

85(Sin63) = x

Now, you can find x. Multiply 85 and Sin63. Your answer should be 4.46 (if rounded to 2 decimals).
