Answer:

JL ≈ 10.7 mm

Explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin18° =
(opposite)/(hypotenuse) =
(JL)/(34.6)

Multiply both sides by 34.6

34.6 × sin18° = JL, hence

JL ≈ 10.7 ( to 1 dec. place )

The side across angle 18 is the opposite side. The perpendicular angle that touches the same line is adjacent. To figure out the length of JL, we need to use the measurement 34.6 mm (hypotenuse). So in this equation we will use hypotenuse to find opposite. Hypotenuse and opposite result in Sin on the calculator. So on the calculator, you would find the Sin of 18 and then multiply that number by 34.6. The answer would then be 10.7 (rounded).

Answer: 10.7 mm (rounded)
