Answer:

The length of AB is approximately 6.07 m

Explanation:

The given dimensions of the triangle are;

The value of x = 7.7 m

The measure of angle, θ = 52°

The length of side AB = Required

The given triangle ΔABC is a right triangle, with the following sides;

AC = x = The hypotenuse (opposite to right angle) side

(Leg) AB = The opposite side to the reference angle, θ

(Leg) BC = The adjacent side to the reference angle, θ

By trigonometric ratio, we have;


sin(\theta) = (Opposite \ leg \ length)/(Hypotenuse \ length) = (AB)/(x)

Therefore;


sin(52^(\circ)) = (AB)/(7.7)

AB = 7.7 × sin(52°) ≈ 6.07

The length of AB ≈ 6.07 m.
