Sagot :

Given the following question:

Given the following information

38 degrees

120 feet long

120 feet will represent the hypotenuse

The triangle as a model:

We are going to be using sin(x) or opp/hyp

The opposite is the h since it's on the opposite side of the angle or the height.

[tex]\begin{gathered} sin38=\frac{x}{120} \\ \text{ Isolate the variable to find the value of h} \\ 120sin38=x \\ 120sin38=73.88 \\ \text{ Round to the nearest whole number} \\ 73.88 \\ 8<5 \\ x=74 \\ h=74 \end{gathered}[/tex]
