Answer

$x\approx11.15$

Work Step by Step

$A=31^{\circ},s=11,r=12$ Formula for Arc-length, $s=r.C$ $11=12.C$ $C=\frac{11}{12}radian=52.52^{\circ}$ Therefore, $D=180^{\circ}-(31^{\circ}+52.52^{\circ})=96.48^{\circ}$ Using laws of sines, $\frac{r}{sinA}=\frac{r+x}{sinD}$ $\frac{12}{sin31^{\circ}}=\frac{12+x}{sin96.48^{\circ}}$ $12+x=12\times\frac{sin96.48^{\circ}}{sin31^{\circ}}$ $12+x=23.15$ Hence, $x=11.15$
