In this problem, angle b represents the angle opposite to the side x. Using trigonometry, we can write:
sin(72°) = x/16
To find x, we can solve for it algebraically:
x = 16 sin(72°)
Using a calculator, we get:
x ≈ 14.3
Therefore, the value of x to the nearest tenth would be 14.3.
Find the value of x to the nearest tenth.
hypotenuse: 16
angle b: 72°
show work.
