Answer:

∠ L ≈ 21.6°

Explanation:

Using the Sine rule in the triangle


(MN)/(sinL) =
(LM)/(sinN) , that is


(34)/(sinL) =
(42)/(sin27) ( cross- multiply )

42 × sinL = 34 × sin27° ( divide both sides by 42 )

sinL =
(34sin27)/(42) , then

∠ L =
sin^(-1) (
(34sin27)/(42) ) ≈ 21.6° ( to the nearest tenth )
