How do you solve for a side in a right triangle that has a hypotenuse of 10, an angle of 35, and the side across from the angle is x?

[tex]\sin \theta = \dfrac{\textrm{opposite}}{\textrm{hypotenuse}}[/tex]

[tex]\sin 35^\circ = \dfrac{x}{10}[/tex]

[tex]x = 10 \sin 35^\circ[/tex]

That's the exact answer; they usually want a calculator approximation at this point,

[tex]x \approx 5.735[/tex]
