Answer :

Answer:

18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the opposite side, and need to find the hypotenuse, leading you to use sine.

Set it up, like so:

[tex]sin67=\frac{17}{x} \\[/tex]

Multiply everything by x, to remove it from the denominator:

[tex]x(sin67=\frac{17}{x} )\\xsin67 = 17[/tex]

Divide both sides by sin67:

[tex]x = \frac{17}{sin67} \\x = 18.46[/tex]

Round to nearest tenth:

x = 18.5
