Answer:


AB = 11.3

Explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Length AB

To do this, we make use of sine law which is represented as:


(a)/(\sin(a)) = (b)/(\sin(b)) = (c)/(\sin(c))

So, we have:


(15)/(\sin(70)) = (AB)/(\sin(45))

Make AB the subject


AB = (15)/(\sin(70)) * \sin(45)


AB = (15)/(0.9397) *0.7071


AB = 11.3
