Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
Just flip the triangle upside down, to make it look more sense.
(Angle) 17
|\
x | \ 47
|__\
We will use the sine trig function to solve for x.
sin(17) = [tex]\frac{x}{47}[/tex]
Multiply by 47 to both sides.
47(sin(17)) = x
Now input into a calculator and solve.
x = 13.74147012
x ≈ 13.7 is the answer.
