Answer:

4) 18.8

Step-by-step explanation:

What we are trying to find is the opposite of the triangle with the angle and the hypotenuse. The equation for that is sin(degrees) = opp/hyp

the degrees is 70, the opposite is x, and the hypotenuse is 20

sin(70) = x/20

0.93969262078 = x/20

18.7938524 = x

18.7938524 rounds to 18.8 so the answer is 4
