Answer:
[tex]x = 12.9[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Note:
The following is sin formula:
[tex] \sin( \theta) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} [/tex]
1) Using the sin formula
[tex]sin(59) = \frac{x}{15} [/tex]
2) Multiply both sides by 15
[tex]15 \sin(59) = \frac{x}{15} \times 15[/tex]
3) Divide both sides by sin(59)
[tex] \frac{15 \sin(59) }{ \sin(59) } = \frac{x}{ \sin(59) } [/tex]
4) Find the value of x
[tex]x = 15 \sin(59) [/tex]
[tex]x = 12.9[/tex]
