Find x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Answer:
42°
Step-by-step explanation:
8 is the opposite
12 is the hypotenuse
We know from SOHCAHTOA to use sine
Since we are looking for the angle, we use sin^-1
sin^-1(opposite/hypotenuse)=x
sin^-1(8/12)=x
Input into calculator
x=42°
Step-by-step explanation:
we use the law of sine :
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)
where the the side and related angle are always opposite to each other.
so,
12/sin(90) = 8/sin(x)
12/1 = 8/sin(x)
12 = 8/sin(x)
3 = 2/sin(x)
sin(x) = 2/3
x = 41.8103149...° ≈ 41.8°
