Answer:

Explanation:

You can make use of any of the trigonometric ratios to determine N, or you can let your calculator tell you what it is by solving the triangle.

SOH CAH TOA reminds you that

... sin(N) = 13/85 . . . . N = arcsin(13/85)

... cos(N) = 84/85 . . . N = arccos(84/85)

... tan(N) = 13/84 . . . . N = arctan(13/84)

all will tell you N ≈ 8.79741° ≈

_____

If you use inverse functions on your calculator, be sure it is in degrees mode.
