Find x
The relationship between x, 47 and [tex]17^{\circ}[/tex] is:
[tex]sin(17^{\circ}) = \frac{x}{47}[/tex]
i.e.
[tex]sin(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]
Solving further:
[tex]sin(17^{\circ}) = \frac{x}{47}[/tex]
Make x the subject
[tex]x = 47 * sin(17^{\circ})[/tex]
[tex]x = 47 * 0.2924[/tex]
[tex]x =13.7428[/tex]
[tex]x =13.7[/tex] --- approximated
