Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree, if necessary. The numbers are 86 is at the hypotenuse side and x is at the opposite side. 56 is the angle.

Use the sine ratio (opposite over hypotenuse):

sin 56° = x / 86
x = 86 · sin 56° ≈ 86 · 0.8290 ≈ 71.3

So x ≈ 71.3 (same units as the given 86).
