The sail of a boat is in the shape of a right triangle. Which expression shows the length, in meters, of the sail?

plz help fast!!! The sail of a boat is a right triangle with an acute angle at the tip equal to 50 degrees and the side of the sail which is the hypotenuse to the right triangle is 7 meters long.

7(tan 50°)
7(sin 50°)
tangent 50 degrees over 7
sine 50 degrees over 7

For the given triangle, the opposite side measures 7 (sin 50°) m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In the triangle, the angle is 50°, assume the opposite side has a length of x units while the hypotenuse of the triangle measures 7m. The adjacent side of the triangle is not given.

To determine the value of x, we determine the value of the sin of the given triangle.

To calculate the sin of an angle we divide the opposite side by the hypotenuse of the same triangle.

Step 2:

The length of the opposite side = x m.

The length of the hypotenuse = 7 m.

So the opposite side of the triangle measures 7 (sin 50°) m.
