Answer:

38m

Explanation:

You can get this by using trigonometric functions and in this case, we will use sine.

Sin(30) =
(19m)/(c)

C =
(19m)/(Sin30)

C = 38m

Remember SOH CAH TOA

SOH

Sin(θ) =
(Opposite)/(Hypotenuse)

CAH

Cos(θ) =
(Adjacent)/(Hypotenuse)

TOA

Tan(θ) =
(Opposite)/(Adjacent)

You can use this for solving any of the sides given an angle and a side.

We used the SOH in this case because the side given is a or the OPPOSITE (the other side/across) of the angle given and you are looking for c which is the HYPOTENUSE.

We know that c is the hypotenuse because it is the side that is across the 90 degree angle (right angle).
