Answer and Explanation:

Using trig ratios, we can express the given values of sin u and tan v as shown below


\begin{gathered} \sin u=\frac{opposite\text{ of angle u}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=(2)/(5) \\ \tan v=\frac{opposite\text{ of angle v}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\sqrt[]{21} \end{gathered}

So we can go ahead and label the sides of the triangle as shown below;

We can find the value of u as shown below;


\begin{gathered} \sin u=(2)/(5) \\ u=\sin ^(-1)((2)/(5)) \\ u=23.6^(\circ) \end{gathered}

We can find v as shown below;


\begin{gathered} u+v+90=180\text{ (sum of angles in a triangle)} \\ v+23.6+90=180 \\ v=180-113.6 \\ v=66.4^(\circ) \end{gathered}
