LK = 2.91m

JK = 7.99m

Step-by-step explanation:

hypotenuse = 8.5m

angle = 20°

LK = side opposite the angle 20°

Since we know the hypotenuse and we need to find the opposite, we would apply sine ratio

sine ratio = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 20° = LK/8.5

LK = 8.5(sin 20°)

LK = 8.5(0.3420)

LK = 2.907

To the nearest hundredth, LK = 2.91m

JK = base = adjacent

We would apply cosine ratio

cos 20° = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos 20° = JK/8.5

JK = 8.5(cos20°)

JK = 8.5(0.9397)

JK = 7.98745

To the nearest hundredth, JK = 7.99m
