Find the value of x in the figure above

  • A 15√6
  • B 20√6
  • C 3√6
  • D 5√6

The correct answer is D. 5√6

\(\frac{X}{sin45}=\frac{15}{sin60}\\X=\frac{15sin45}{sin60}\\X=\frac{15\times(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})}{\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}}\\X=\frac{15}{\sqrt{2}}\times\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\\X=\frac{30}{\sqrt{6}}\\X=\frac{30}{\sqrt{6}}\times\frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}}=\frac{30\sqrt{6}}{6}=5\sqrt{6}\)
