Answer :

Answer:

x ≈ 17°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin x = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{17}[/tex] , then

x = [tex]sin^{-1}[/tex] ( [tex]\frac{5}{17}[/tex] ) ≈ 17° ( to the nearest whole number )

ANSWER: X=17 degrees

EXPLANATION:

Sin X= 5/17
Only X=17 gives 5/17

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer
