The Solution:

Given the figure below:

We are required to find the length of DK to the nearest tenth of an inch.

By the Trigonometrical Ratio, we have that:


\sin 43^o=\frac{\text{opp}}{\text{hyp}}=(16)/(DK)
\sin 43^o=(16)/(DK)

Cross multiplying, we get


DK\sin 43^o=16

Dividing both sides by sin43, we get


DK=(16)/(\sin 43^o)=23.4605\approx23.5^o

Therefore, the correct answer is 23.5 degrees.
