Explanation:Explanation:

let's use the law of sine :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

so,

5.4/sin(K/2) = 12.3/sin(M1)

8.2/sin(K/2) = x/sin(M2)

M1 + M2 = 180 (as complementary angles or linear pair)

M2 = 180 - M1

Explanation:

let's use the law of sine :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

so,

5.4/sin(K/2) = 12.3/sin(M1)

8.2/sin(K/2) = x/sin(M2)

M1 + M2 = 180 (as complementary angles or linear pair)

M2 = 180 - M1

sin(K/2) = 5.4×sin(M1)/12.3

sin(K/2) = 8.2×sin(M2)/x

therefore

5.4×sin(M1)/12.3 = 8.2×sin(180 - M1)/x

since sin(a) = sin(180 - a)

5.4×sin(M1)/12.3 = 8.2×sin(M1)/x

and then

5.4/12.3 = 8.2/x

x×5.4 = 8.2×12.3

x = 8.2×12.3/5.4 = 18.67777777... ≈ 18.7
