Respuesta :

sine because it uses opposite over hypotenuse

Answer:

Sine

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a triangle XMI in which

[tex]MI=20 units[/tex]

[tex]XI=z[/tex]

[tex]\angle MXI=28^{\circ}[/tex]

We have to find which trigonometric ratio would use to solve for z.

We know that

[tex]Sin\theta=\frac{Perpendicular\;side}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]cosin\theta=\frac{base}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]tan\theta=\frac{Perpendicular\;side}{base}[/tex]

We have , Perpendicular side =MI=20 units

Hypotenuse,XI=z

Base=XM

[tex]sin28^{\circ}=\frac{20}{z}[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{20}{sin28^{\circ}}[/tex]

Hence, we would use sine  to solve for z.
