Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is a right triangle.

✔️m<A = 180° - (53° + 90°)

m<A = 37°

✔️Find AC using trigonometric ratio:

Reference angle = 53°

Opposite = AC

Hypotenuse = 5 m

Thus:

Sin (53) = opp/hyp

Sin (53) = AC/5

5*Sin(53) = AC

AC = 3.99 (nearest hundredth)

✔️Find BC using trigonometric ratio:

Reference angle = 53°

Hypotenuse = 5

BC = Adj

Cos (53) = adj/hyp

Cos (53) = BC/5

5*Cos(53) = BC

BC = 3.01 (nearesth hundredth)
