Answer:

19.7°

Explanation:

In ΔTUV, the measure of ∠V=90°, UV = 3.3 feet, and TU = 9.8 feet. Find the measure of ∠U to the nearest degree.

We make use of sine rule

TU/sin V = UV/sin U

9.8/sin 90 = 3.3/sin U

Cross Multiply

sin 90 × 3.3 = 9.8 × sin U

sin U = sin 90 × 3.3 /9.8

U = arc sin ( sin 90 × 3.3/9.8)

U = 19.7°
