There's a right triangle. There's an angle that measures 41 degrees. The hypotenuse is x, and the angle opposite 41 degrees measures 25 in length. How can I find what x is? The proportion set up is 25/x, but how do you solve for x?

Answer 1

Use the law of sines.

25/sin 41 = (hypotenuse)/sin 90 = hypotenuse = x

x = 38.1
