To solve for x, we can use the trigonometric function sine. In a right triangle, sine is defined as the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse.
We are given that the hypotenuse is 15 and the angle opposite x is 42 degrees.
Using the sine function:
sin(42) = x/15
To find x, we can rearrange the equation:
x = 15 * sin(42)
Calculating this value:
x ≈ 15 * 0.6691 ≈ 10.0365
Rounding to one decimal place, x is approximately 10.0.
Among the given options, the closest value to 10.0 is 11.1.
