Answer:

C

Explanation:

Using the law of Sines in ΔABC


(a)/(sinA) =
(c)/(sinC), that is


(37)/(sin42) =
(c)/(sin41.5) ( cross- multiply )

c × sin42° = 37 × sin41.5° ( divide both sides by sin42° )

c =
(37(sin41.5))/(sin42) ≈ 36.64 ( to 2 dec. places )

a/sinA = c/sinC

Substitute in the values:

37/sin(42) = c/sin(41.5)

Multiply both sides by sin(41.5)

37/sin(42) x sin(41.5) = c

Solve:

c = 36.63999457

The correct answer would be C. 36.64

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

Have A Great Day ^-^
