Question

Solve for x
please help​

Answer 1

x = 63.5°

Explanation:

To find the value of x in the given right triangle, we would apply trigonometric function.

Reference angle = x

Side length Opposite to x = 17

Hypotenuse length = 19

Apply SOH:

`sin(x) = (Opp)/(Hyp)`

`sin(x) = (17)/(19)`

`x = sin^(-1)((17)/(19))`

x = 63.474648° ≈ 63.5° (nearest tenth)
