Answer:
• (a)The length of the side opposite 31.0° is 1.96 meters.
,
• (b)The length of the side adjacent 31.0° is 3.26 meters.
Explanation:
In the right triangle:
• The length of the hypotenuse = 3.80 m
,
• Let the side ,opposite ,angle 31.0° = x
• Let the side ,adjacent ,angle 31.0° = y
(a)
From trigonometric ratios:

Cross multiply:

The length of the side opposite 31.0° is 1.96 meters.
(b)From trigonometric ratios:

Cross multiply:

The length of the side adjacent 31.0° is 3.26 meters.
