Question

In ΔKLM, m = 63 inches, mm∠K=24° and mm∠L=42°. Find the length of l, to the nearest inch.

Answer 1

Check the picture below.

`\textit{Law of sines} \\\\ \cfrac{sin(\measuredangle A)}{a}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle B)}{b}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle C)}{c} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{\sin(\measuredangle M)}{m}=\cfrac{\sin(\measuredangle L)}{l}\implies \cfrac{\sin(114^o)}{63}=\cfrac{\sin(42^o)}{l} \\\\\\ l\sin(114^o)=63\sin(42^o)\implies l=\cfrac{63\sin(42^o)}{\sin(114^o)}\implies l\approx 46~inches`
