Answer:

[tex] x = 6.6 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ∆WXY,

<X = 15°

<Y = 23°

y = 10

x = ?

To find side x, use the Law of sines as shown below:

[tex] \frac{x}{sin X} = \frac{y}{sin Y} [/tex]

Plug in the values of y, Y, and X

[tex] \frac{x}{sin 15} = \frac{10}{sin 23} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{x}{0.2588} = \frac{10}{0.3907} [/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex] x*0.3907 = 10*0.2588 [/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.3907 to solve for x

[tex] \frac{x*0.3907}{0.3907} = \frac{10*0.2588}{0.3907} [/tex]

[tex] x = \frac{2.588}{0.3907} [/tex]

[tex] x = 6.624 [/tex]

[tex] x = 6.6 [/tex] (to nearest tenth)
