Answer:

0.7241

Step-by-step explanation:

sin = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

In this case we have the hypotenuse (2.9) but not the opposite so here is how you calculate it

[tex]a^{2}+b^{2}= c^{2} \\\\2^{2}+ b^{2}= 2.9^{2} \\4+ b^{2} = 8.41\\\\\sqrt{b^{2} }= \sqrt{4.41} \\b= 2.1[/tex]

So now you have the opposite (2.1)

so now you would divide [tex]\frac{2.1}{2.9} or 0.7241[/tex]

Answer:

[tex] \sin X = 0.7241 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For angle X, 2.0 ft is the adjacent leg. 2.9 ft is the hypotenuse.

The trig ratio that relates the adjacent leg to the hypotenuse is the cosine.

[tex] \cos X = \dfrac{adj}{opp} [/tex]

[tex] \cos X = \dfrac{2.0}{2.9} [/tex]

[tex] \cos X = 0.689655 [/tex]

Since we now know the value of cos X, we can find the value of sin X by using the trig identity

[tex] \sin^2 X + \cos^2 X = 1 [/tex]

[tex] \sin^2 X + (0.689655)^2 = 1 [/tex]

[tex] \sin^2 X = 0.524376 [/tex]

[tex] \sin X = 0.7241 [/tex]
