Solution:

To figure out the value of a, we will use the trigonometric ratio below


\begin{gathered} sin\theta=(a)/(c) \\ \theta=41^0 \\ c=25m \\ sin\theta=(opposite)/(hypotenus) \\ S=(O)/(H) \end{gathered}

By substituting the values, we will have


\begin{gathered} s\imaginaryI n\theta=(a)/(c) \\ \sin41=(a)/(25m) \\ a=25* sin41 \\ a=16.4 \\ a\approx16cm \end{gathered}

Hence,

The value of a to the nearest whole number is


a=16m
