Explanation:

Step1: Identify trigonometric ratio

We use sine for angle $72^\circ$: $\sin(\theta)=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
$\sin(72^\circ)=\frac{x}{94}$

Step2: Isolate $x$

Rearrange to solve for $x$:
$x=94\times\sin(72^\circ)$

Step3: Calculate value

Compute $\sin(72^\circ)\approx0.9511$, then:
$x\approx94\times0.9511$
$x\approx89.4$

Answer:

$89.4$
