Answer: 12.96 and 8.87 units respectively

Explanation:

The sine rule states that the ratio between a side of a triangle and the sine of the angle opposing the side will be equal for all three sides of the same triangle.

For Q20, we can get the equation
(19)/(sin(90)) = (x)/(sin(43)) and from here we can solve for x which is 12.96 so the answer to Q20 is 12.96 units.

For Q21, the angle opposite of x can be found by summing up the two known angles and subtracting that from 180° to get 43°. From here, we can get the equation
(13)/(sin(90)) = (x)/(sin(43)) and solve for x which is 8.87 so the answer to Q21 is 8.87 units
