1. **State the problem:** We are given a triangle ABC with angles $A=98.4^\circ$, $B=24.6^\circ$, and side $c=376$ opposite angle $C$. We need to find side $x$ opposite angle $B$ using the Law of Sines.
2. **Find angle $C$:** The sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$. So,
$$C = 180^\circ - A - B = 180^\circ - 98.4^\circ - 24.6^\circ = 57^\circ.$$
3. **Law of Sines formula:**
$$\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}$$
where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are sides opposite angles $A$, $B$, and $C$ respectively.
4. **Apply Law of Sines to find $x$ (side $b$):**
$$\frac{x}{\sin 24.6^\circ} = \frac{376}{\sin 57^\circ}$$
5. **Solve for $x$:**
$$x = \frac{376 \times \sin 24.6^\circ}{\sin 57^\circ}$$
6. **Calculate sine values:**
$$\sin 24.6^\circ \approx 0.4161, \quad \sin 57^\circ \approx 0.8387$$
7. **Compute $x$:**
$$x = \frac{376 \times 0.4161}{0.8387} \approx \frac{156.45}{0.8387} \approx 186.5$$
**Final answer:** The side $x$ opposite angle $B$ is approximately $186.5$ units.
