Need help on solving this question about Triangles

0 votes

Find the length x. Round to the nearest tenth.

I know it shows my work but I don't believe I solved it correctly. By that I mean solving it in a Precaclulus way than a Tringometry way. Is there any other way in solving this other than how I showed it or would it be accepted in Precaculus?
