Answer 1

(B)

Explanation:

Look at the triangle with the 65° angle. Note that the 65° angle is opposite the 24-ft side and p is the length of the triangle's hypotenuse so let's use the definition of sine 65°:

sin 65 = opposite/hypotenuse

= (24 ft)/p

Solving for p,

p = (24 ft)/(sin 65°)

= 26.48 ft
