Answer:

47.5

Explanation:

What is the law of sines?

The law of sines states that for any triangle:

side A (which is opposite to angle A) divided by sin(angle A) = side B (which is opposite to angle B) divided by sin(angle B).

Let's see if we can use this in the problem.

We have 2 angles, 1 side, and 1 variable for the side. we can set up an equation this way;

58/sin(39degrees) = v/sin(31degrees)

isolate v:

58sin(31degrees)/sin(39degrees) = v

We can plug this into a graphing calculator to get:

47.46740892

We round to the nearest 10th to get

47.5
