1. The problem states that $\sin \theta = \frac{1.5}{9.4}$. We need to find the angle $\theta$ to 1 decimal place.
2. Recall that $\sin \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$. To find $\theta$, use the inverse sine function:
$$\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1.5}{9.4}\right)$$
3. Calculate the fraction:
$$\frac{1.5}{9.4} \approx 0.1596$$
4. Find the inverse sine:
$$\theta = \sin^{-1}(0.1596) \approx 9.2^\circ$$
5. So, $\theta$ is approximately $9.2$ degrees to 1 decimal place.

For the second part:
a) Write an expression for $\sin \theta$ in terms of $x$.
1. Given a right-angled triangle with hypotenuse 10 cm and side opposite $\theta$ labeled $x$, by definition:
$$\sin \theta = \frac{x}{10}$$
b) If $\sin \theta = \frac{3}{5}$, find $x$.
1. Use the expression from part (a):
$$\frac{3}{5} = \frac{x}{10}$$
2. Cross-multiply to solve for $x$:
$$x = 10 \times \frac{3}{5} = 6$$
3. So, the length $x$ is 6 cm.
