Answer:
x ≈ 61.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the sine ratio in the right triangle
sin15° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{16}{x}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )
x × sin15° = 16 ( divide both sides by sin15° )
x = [tex]\frac{16}{sin15}[/tex] ≈ 61.8 ( to the nearest tenth )
