Question

Hi, can you help me to solve this exercise, please!!

Answer 1

In order to find the missing side VW we need to use the trigonometric functions for the angle that is given, in this case 59°.

The trigonometric function that involves the hypotenuse and the opposite side is sin, then,

`\sin \theta=(op)/(hyp)`

solve the equation for the opposite side

`\begin{gathered} \sin \theta\cdot hyp=op \\ \sin 59\cdot9.3=vw \\ 7.97=vw \\ vw\approx8.0 \end{gathered}`
