Answer: 9.99m

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have a right triangle, and from that you should be able to get all three angles because you have the 90 degree angle, the 11.3 angle, and the mystery angle, so you do the equation 180 (the total amount of degrees for a triangle) - 90 - 11.3, which gives you 78.7, then calculate the rest from there. (You can calculate from only having one side and three angles)
