We can use the trigonometric ratio for sine to solve this problem:
sin(72°) = opposite/hypotenuse
where opposite is the side opposite to the given angle, and x is the length of the opposite side.
Now we can solve for x:
x = sin(72°) * 16
x = 0.951 * 16
x = 15.216
Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get:
x ≈ 15.2
Find the value of x to the nearest tenth.
hypotenuse: 16
angle: 72°
you should get 15.2
