Answer:Using sine law, the value of k in the triangle KLM to the nearest tenth is 2.0 inches.
How to use sine law to find sides of a triangle?
Using sine law,
k / sin K = m / sin M
Therefore,
k = ?
K = 21 degrees
M = 180 - 21 - 88 = 71 degrees
m = 5.3 inches
Hence,
k / sin 21 = 5.3 / sin 71°
cross multiply
5.3 sin 21 = k sin 71°
5.3 × 0.35836794954 = 0.94551857559k
1.89935013259 / 0.94551857559 = k
k = 2.00846113168
k = 2.0 inches
