What is the value of x

  x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(30°) = 5/x

Solving for x, we get ...

  x = 5/sin(30) = 5/0.5

  x = 10

It can be helpful to remember that the side ratios in a 30°-60°-90° triangle are ...

  1 : √3 : 2

That is, the hypotenuse is 2 times the length of the side opposite the 30° angle. Here, that means x = 2×5 = 10, as we found above.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
